[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wonder what people with this type of eating limitation/disorder do eat regularly?[/quote]

I am like OP and the answer is bland food. Even garlic can be too much for me and sometimes sour cream and onion potatoe chips for example.

I take medication that makes my mouth even more sensitive so I have to be really careful.

I hate it and wish it wasn't the case.[/quote]

I don't know about OP but if you can't eat onions then you might have a form of IBS that requires low-FODMAP foods.  The hallmark of needing to eat low-FODMAP is an intolerance for onions and garlic.  Then there is a whole list of other foods that some people can tolerate and others cannot.  However, not being able to eat onions and garlic is something they all have in common.  It has to do with their bodies not being able to process the fructose in certain high-FODMAP foods and when they eat those foods they experience severe gastro distress.

Note that there are better charts out there - this is just the one that I could get in a jpg format so I could paste it in LOL.

In answer to OP's question, our low-FODMAP daughter eats Naan, Rice, and either Butter Chicken or Lamb Saag.  Note that the Lamb Saag looks absolutely disgusting but OMG it is delicious.  I like Butter Chicken but it is a little sweet for me.  OP will need to make sure the niece says explicitly:  NO ONIONS and NO GARLIC when she places the order.

Sorry for the long post.  I hope this information helps, OP![/quote]
