Do tomatoes tacos chili make you flare?

[Irene3]

Just wondering if it's common. My fistula is stinging and have flare symptoms today, after I made tacos last night, and had tomatoes lettuce and cheese. Do many of you have flares...
I see my GI this afternoon, and begin humira within the next few weeks, so I'm not worried about it, since 6mp, I havnt been flaring a lot, and with humira I think the bloating will be a lot better too. But on humira, do you still flare from tomatoes ect???....

I love tomatoes but they don't like me- same with capsicum/peppers - I seem to tolerate it ok if its cooked& skinned...but any raw veg with skins are a big no-no for a lot of ppl including me
hope you're feeling better soon x

I don't know that I would callnit a flare- but especially with an active fistula I could see foods with higher acidification counts causing problems. As well as spicy foods.

Hope it feels better soon!

Could it be the corn in the taco shells or gluten in flour tortillas?

Hell yeah!! Tacos and chilli always. But I seem to be able to eat tomatoes after removing the seeds and the skin (pour boiling water over them to make the skins come off real easy. ie: use just the flesh).

I omit the chilli sauce (try a mild sweet steak sauce instead), and use a tortilla wrap instead of taco shell.

Oh, and watch out for High Fibre tortilla wraps too - I made that mistake once, suffered all night for it!

Happy eating!

it would be worth eating each ingredient individually to see what was the cause. Theres quite a few which u ate that would cause other ppl problems
