The following is a list of common food items that those who live with LARS may find pose an issue if eaten:
| Corn | Alcohol |
| Cabbage | Red Meat |
| Popcorn | Nuts /seeds |
| Fried Food | Spinach |
| Fruit and vegetables with skins and seeds | Melons |
| Broccoli/Cauliflower | Spicy Food |
| Sugar Substitutes | Caffeine/Chocolate |
| Dairy (milk/ice-cream) | Pork |
| Legumes | Onions/peppers |
Some people report that they can eat some of these foods with no problem and others report that over time, they have been able to introduce some of these foods back into their diet in time, with good result. If you are going to try and add foods back to your diet, be sure to only introduce one challenging food back at a time. This way you can get a good sense of how your body is going to react to it! Remember, transit time can make a difference. A good rule of thumb is to wait three days to make sure there is no negative response. Adding another forbidden food too soon can create confusion and misery!
