Garlic intolerance = digestive nightmare!

I have been suffering from a garlic and onion intolerance for over 2 years now and I have previously written a comment on here at something stage. I have been told to try eliminate foods from my diet and to follow a fodmaps diet. As I'm not in the circumstances where I can easily do this and know that it will 100% I haven chosen not to do it yet! I have herd good things about it tho.
But for me if I just avoid these food tho it might mean everything on a restaurant menu or constantly asking for food without it, has been enough for me so far.
BUT I'm have discovered using Iburogast from the chemist after seeing it on tv and at the gastroenterologist that I see in their shelves I decided to buy some!
100% HONESTLY I can eat meals with onion and garlic in them and be fine!! No gas no bloating and no cramps!! No going to the toilet nothing!!! I'm just hoping that it will last forever and that I won't all of a sudden become immune to it or something

But I just wanted everyone out there to know that suffers from ibs like symptoms to try it!! I'm spewing I didn't try it sooner to tell you the truth! 20 drops into a small amount of water before your meal that's it!
Cost about $24. At my chemist but is definitely worth its weight in gold!!
Good luck hope you have had the success I have had so far!

I got tonsil stones from raw onions. Not cooked just raw. Then I decided to swallow raw garlic one winter to boost my immune system. Just swallow not chew. What a mistake that was! My heart accelerated, I felt lightheaded, and thought my blood pressure dropped. It also made me feel anxious. The gas was smelly and sure enough there were the tonsil stones in my mouth again. So now no more raw onions, or garlic ever.

Look up FODMAPS. People with IBS often have difficulty digesting garlic. It belongs to the grouping of foods called fructans. Onions are in this category as is wheat. When I was pregnant, the smell of onions and garlic would make me wretch. I got over that but now the aversion has returned. And yes, it's a pain going to a restaurant.

I had all these same problems and went to a gastroenterologist and he tested a stool sample and ground I had a gut parasite, this would make me sick when eating anything that contained onion n garlic. I then took courses of antibiotics and eventually got over it! But now he is saying it's my own stomach because I am still getting the symptoms and have had another stool test done now I'm off to see a dietitian to help me eat the right things

I've had the exact same symptoms for most of my life and it is a garlic intolerance. I try to avoid garlic as much as possible, but it is added into so many foods (even small doses of powder in crackers can affect me). The best preventative treatment I have found is taking a beano pill before I eat anything that contains garlic. Sometimes two if I am out at an Italian restaurant. It really makes a world of difference.

I have a Garlic powder allergy and sever irritation. I have had this for 15 years or more and in 1999 it was very difficult explaining this to your doctor.

I had sever shortnes of breathe, swollen esophagus and tonsils, which I removed tonsils and obtained inhalers from the EU. But nothing worked. The doctors were trying to slam me with anxiety but I am anything but anxious.

The first main issue is sever cramping, diareah and abdomen pains. Basically, your body is rejecting it and washing out your intestines and stomach as fast as possible, no consideration to sever pains.

Also, I met a scientist and I explained that I thought it was garlic and milk, and this person ran the idea that it may be garlic because it fums through the lungs. So, after years of suffering in end of high school and into college , sleepless nights and suffering. Removing tonsils, etc.... I removed garlic out of meals 100 percent and 1 week later, I felt relax, breathing easy and can concentrate again for hours and hours.

I went to a homeopath ( medical doctors pricked needles to my skin and nothing, sorry but this is cave man testing.. I could have done this myself when I was 5 years old with my science kit. What a joke.) And the homeopath used a machine the measures the energy levels (I'm a computer scientist , I know all organisms have energy, they are just measuring it) and we attach 100 or more substances, all were fine except two. garlic and Sulphur extract from Garlic. The needle went below 0 so fast it would go to negative 100 . That means I was not only a little bid irritant but extremely irritant.

Today, funny because I tested myself out with garlic but cooking a high concentration of garlic powder in room. And 15 years later I am extremely irritant. I couldn't breathe nor concentrate again, won't even bother testing it out on my stomach.

Summary is garlic was primarily used as medicine, not a food for daily consumption. my ancestor's are from the place they introduced garlic to world for consumption, but even my grand parents would use it for medicinal in 1890s and sometimes for food on occasion. Not for consumption on daily basis. And their garlic I think was a lot lighter in flavour.

Not sure what is going on to the industry but there is a growing number garlic irritant people, extremely irritant.
