I've had my j-pouch for almost 17 years, so I pretty much have my "good" and "no-no" food lists all figured out. But I started to wonder if having issues with certain foods is something I should look into more, to make sure there's not something else going on.
Does anyone else have these problems, and do you know why? In order of severity:
1. Eggs -- I love eggs! But I can't have an egg first thing in the morning or I'll have terrible urgency, diarrhea, and the biggest problem: burning. I saw someone else mention that they have more issues with egg yolks than egg whites, but my problems don't seem to care which part of the egg I'm eating. If I eat a piece of toast or bacon first, I'm fine; it's only a problem if I start with the egg.
2. Sugar and enriched flour - I can have these in small amounts, and I push the envelope during holidays 
, but if I eat something pure flour-and-sugar like a couple of Twinkies or a donut, especially if I haven't eaten anything else for a while, I'll be runnin' to the bathroom. This typically lasts a little longer than the egg problem, with about as much burning.
3. Cocoa/Oreos - I love chocolate (of course), but I have to be careful. I'll have a little urgency and irritation when I have a brownie or candy bar or cup of hot cocoa, and I deal, because they're worth it. But I've found that Oreos I specifically have to limit to just one or avoid altogether (unsure if it's just the cocoa combined with a lot of sugar?), or else I'll have urgency, diarrhea, and irritation until every last bit has passed.
4. Coconut flour -- I can eat shredded coconut, coconut water, and coconut oil with no issues, but I absolutely cannot have coconut flour. It gives me nausea, stomach-emptying diarrhea, urgency even when nothing is left, irritation, and burning, reminiscent of having a UC flare-up.
I've searched the forums and seen a couple of references to problems with eggs, but no answer about why, while others use eggs as a go-to food and presumably have no issues with them. Some also have recommended coconut flour and cocoa for different things, which makes me think these are not common issues.
Partly I just want this posted here so if anybody else is searching these foods, they'll know someone else out there has issues with them too!
