Onions have recently been identified (by me) as a source of gastric
discomfort, along with most vegetables and fruit (except for cucumber
so far).

Is there any halfway decent substitute to onions (and members of the
onion family) other than hing?

The other day I did a sauce with puréed roasted red peppers and finely
chopped celery with a tablespoon of olive oil. I braised chicken
breasts in that with a cup of white wine. I ate as little of the sauce
as I could, and it was fine.

Michel,

First, try some Beano or Bean-Zyme. It works on a huge array of vegetables
and fruits that produce the symptoms you're having.

What's going on? Did all your microflora abandon you? Sure, a Bush
win
was a good excuse for inner-cleansing, but drano was probably the wrong

agent.

Anyway, the most common would be onion powder. I don't know if there
is
any that isn't yucky.

How about dehydrated onions? Have you tried different varieties, like
sweets or bermudas?
Green onions? Chives? Are cooked onions bothering you, or just raw?
Maybe
soaking onions in vinegar or lemon juice?

How are you with whole grains? Are those causing you trouble too?

It's no surprise that cucumber is ok. Cucumbers are the most useless
of the
vegetable family. They don't even have fiber. Eggplant should be
alright too.
Bananas are easy to digest.

If this is a temporary problem, eating like a baby could help releave
it. Start
with things babies start with - bananas, avocados, rice, plain yogurt
(great for
microflora, as you know) and add in. Maybe you can get back to full
fledged
eat everything.

Of course, you could also have some sort of infection or other that is
attacking
your GI tract and making trouble for you when you eat stuff that needs
more stomach
acid. Maybe Bush gave you an ulcer - another reason to despise him.

Did you try onion juice only? I believe I heard somewhere that maganese
was the active ingredient in onions. Might want to talk that mineral over
with the dr.

I've been wondering about onion juice. Also, I had something with
garlic in it and it didn't seem to have any effect. I'll broach the
matter with my doctor at the upcoming checkup. In the meantime, I'm
collecting information as to what's ok and what isn't. No sense in
making assumptions.

Manganese? I thought Sulfur was the thing? Maybe that's just the
smelly chemicals, though.

Never really cared for ORs, but I like onions in small doses.
