Hi Veronica!
Oh yes, definitely feel more burning with greasy foods and actually would get sharp stabbing/shocking pains down my back and through my gut after eating potato chips, so finally had to give them up completely!  I only really ate them because of the salt! I don't seem to have too much trouble with just plain avocado, but did have one today with lunch and had more stomach pain! Not exactly sure if it was the avocado or something else?!

Oh man, potatoes in any form just make my stomach go crazy. It feels like some tiny little gymnast is practicing somersaults in there.
Funny body.

Hi V!
Glad your bladder is doing better. Did you talk with Dr. B about doing an elimination diet. A really controlled one where you take out all grains and dairy, etc...then add back in slowly. I am also planning on avoiding the Kettle chips with polyunsaturated fats (sunflower oil/safflour oil). The monounsaturated fats like olive oil are supposed to be better for leaky guts.
Are you far enough in treatment that you might be able to add in digestive enzymes?

V. Also I don't mean to be a devils' advocate ;) but pain in the stomach is not a sign of hunger. It is a message that you still have some more to go on your healing.
 
Google: Toxic hunger, v. true hunger.
 
When we are really hungry (and eating whole foods and not sugar, like we do) the best indication of hunger should be salivation, and a fullness sort of feeling in the throat/very upper chest. We should not have rumbling or uncomfortable tummies. For the general population that eats sugar, that is a sign that they are not eating properly, also, headaches and low-blood sugar--not good signs between meals) Pain in tummy is a sign we still have work to do. Just my 2 cents...
Keep up the food journaling!!

I do really well on potato chips, and greasy foods in general -- but avocados put me into pain.
 
So have rotated them out of my diet, per Dr. B., for 4 weeks, then will try them again.
