Food alergies(allergies) due to diverticulitus???

6 yrs ago I had two diverticulum perforate, had 12 inches of my colon removed, wore a colostomy bag for 2 months and 2 years after that I had gall bladder removed.  I've been to the ER at least 10 times in the past 1.5 years with severe lower abdominal pain..docs cant seem to find anything and ALL bloodwork comes back "within normal limits."  There is much more to my story but I'm trying not to bore anyone.

Anyway...the past 2 years has been hell on earth.  Out of the blue I cant seem to tollerate most foods and seem to have some kind of systemic reaction when I eat bread, cheese, tomatoes, drink milk, and several other items.  As of today..I'm affraid to eat.  IT *****!

Anyone else have a similar story to tell.  I'd love to know if I'm normal.

I don't believe that you have a food allergy, but it is probably a food intolerance (different processes).  You might have developed lactose intolerance so I would recommend cutting out all lactose.  I don't know of your particular situation but it is common to develop food intolerances after something in your intestine changes.
