[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family likes spicy food but ILs don't. How about just make an extra load of garlicky, spicy stuffing? Last year I made a good one that included hot Italian sausage. All the other sides can be vegetarian. [/quote]

Sorry but how is garlic spicy? How do you not like garlic? [/quote]

People with IBS who need to eat low-FODMAP diets cannot eat garlic or onions.  It is a known thing.  Try to be tolerant of others food needs.  When my daughter even smells garlic or onions cooking, it spikes her IBS and she begins to throw up.  When she -eats- garlic?  Whoa, watch out.[/quote]

OP’s in laws are just insular and aren’t on any diet.[/quote]

Okay???  Chances are that if they find garlic "too spicy" then they have IBS and don't know it.  Just sayin'.  Try to be a little more gracious and tolerant.  You don't know what others are going through.[/quote]

My sister, who has traveled the world, and ate every spicy food under the sun now has this issue. Giving up garlic and onions was just the tip of the iceberg for  her. I’ve been around her when she says “What the hell” and “indulges” in moderately spicy food. It’s not pretty.  And she has seen a dozen mainstream and more wholistic doctors for this and their advice is to avoid all of these “trigger” foods.  [/quote]
