Is there, or could we have a section on trigger drinks/foods?

A list of triggering foods will eventually keep growing over time to encompass practically all known edible foods and lead to people only seeing water as safe like @[je...] said. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if someone said they had a bad reaction to water too.

The problem with this list is that there is no way to verify if negative reactions are genuinely from the food or just so happened to occur when a wave was going to approach anyway, regardless what was eaten.

Then there is also the issue of ingredients. If someone said they had a horrible reaction to french fries, it may have actually just been the oil used in that particular brand and not necessitate avoiding all fries. You may end up avoiding food that will not affect you personally since no two wd cases are the same.

Sometimes living in fear of food may actually be worse than dealing with an uptick in symptoms from ingesting food. You may cause yourself to become deficient in nutrients or lose too much weight.

As bad as the symptoms can get, you are not setting yourself back in your recovery just from getting the symptoms.
