Discussion: Due to my chronic gastrointestinal disease, should I avoid eating garlic and onions?

Spicy foods, including raw garlic and onions, can exacerbate symptoms in IBD patients because they irritate the intestine's inflamed walls. Simultaneously, garlic and onions have a high sulfur content that is essential for the immune system. In cooking, garlic and onions (in reasonable amounts) do not irritate the intestines and are not prohibited from use. Garlic and onion contain fiber and are essential flavoring agents. There is no reason for patients with chronic digestive tract diseases to avoid them when cooking.
