Yup. I got a full colonoscopy thst found nothing. Hilariously once I got out of college, my trigger foods dropped being triggers.

This was also me, except mine turned out to be my job (low-level manager but lots of stress and responsibility).
I used to have at least one ‘attack’ a week, sometimes several, seriously affecting my social engagements (because - naturally - I was usually completely fine at work and it was only my personal life and relationships that suffered).
Once I was out of that environment it stopped pretty much straight away. Amazing and frustrating at the same time; I wish I’d realised sooner!

I got out of the military and suddenly had no trigger foods. Now that I’m older, I do have acid reflux trigger foods. It was good while it lasted I guess.

What were your trigger foods, and are they just gone from your diet? Or did they actually stop triggering you?

Most common ingredient I found was hydrolyzed soy protein. And milk. But now I can eat both with no issues.

Hydrolyzed soy protein is in so much stuff. If pops up where you least expect it, like, icing on cupcakes and dumb stuff like that.

Sometimes I feel like most food is basically just edible plastic

Yep. Gravy was a big one for me as it's used in those pot roasts in a box things. I think McDonalds in Canada also has it in their oil. Thankfully I was able to find alternatives for a while but oof. Rough couple years.

Campbell’s Soup here in the states has it as well. Weirdly most store brands don’t so I end up buying those. He’ll even Stove Top stuffing has it.

Yeah, they had me on the FODMAPS diet and it made no difference. Then, I started managing my OCD and anxiety better and whaddya know, my gut improved substantially.
