I have experimented terrible bloating all my life, but have recently began suspecting it's the onions that cause it. I've discarded everything, wheat, fats, milk, etc.

Re: Bloating — Bloating like part of my intestine is going to burst. Major migrane. unable to take a complete breath. most painfule is the major migrane. I am also intolerent to regular chocolate, not the white or black but the regular ones.
Went to doctor and he said just don't eat chocolate and Onion. I need help when by accident and not knowing a certain food is prepared with Onion... this major pain lasts for three days usually... Help....

Re: Genetic predisposition — I am guessing there may be some sort of missing enzyme here (similar to lactose intolerance), or possible an issue with intestinal flora (either a missing bug you need, or a bug that hates onions.

Re: Antihistamines — thought it was worth a try since people call it a "food allergy" - didn't do anything for me.
