Food intolerances & sensitivities

JT

I seem to suffer from a lot of these, do you? Is this common in ASC?

I can't eat gluten, dairy, eggs, onions, anything spicey, mustard, and nuts & other fibre scratch my insides so it flares up inflammation in my intestine (IBD).

I was only diagnosed with ASC this year, but was curious if these issues with digestion I've had since 2012 were common for those on the spectrum?

  • Hi, I get this and it's all Autism related for me. I'm hyper sensitive to taste, smell and texture and this gets triggered and intensified by nearly every food and drink. I try to just have the plain stuff and that makes it easier. My digestive system gets triggered a lot as well, usually end up feeling sick from food and drink. I just try to stick to the plain stuff and that doesn't affect me as much.
