Speaking on this topic, is there any efficient way to figure out which foods bother you? Because sometimes I get headaches/digestive issues, but meals are typically so complicated and vary so much that its uncertain what caused the problem. I wish there was like a documented "top 10" or even a "top 100" common bad food reactions. Testing ingredients one by one seems ... tedious.

Cooking for yourself exclusively is a challenging but good start, as you will know exactly what went into it. "top 10" might be the big 8 allergens plus celiac and the concepts of fodmap and glycemic index & load.

I'm also wondering this. I got sick with a stomach bug a few months ago (not covid) and since then i have a tremendous amount of gas (from both ends). It starts about 5min after i start eating and gradually gets less as the hours go on until i eat again, although it picks up again when i haven't eaten anything in a while too. I can't figure it out. I haven't changed my diet at all from before and after i got stick to start it. I've tried cutting out dairy and also just going straight fruits and veggies with at least a week between each change but no luck. I also tried going on a probiotic diet for a while to try and cycle through and replenish good bacteria. I'm noticeably tired too which is probably because i'm not properly digesting the food to get the required energy from it.

  Look up SIBO. Talk to your doctor. Get the breath test.

    Hmmm interesting, thanks for the lead! Although i don't have any pain or any of the other symptoms, just the gas.

It can be a good idea to start with a low "FODMAP" and then gradually add stuff to your diet again.
