My biggest trigger isn't food!! It's heat!! If I get hot it 100% of the time triggers an attack! Also if I get jolted awake or if I have extreme pressure on my tummy it'll start an attack 80% of the time.
My biggest FOOD trigger is anything dairy-- When I'm stable, I'll get an attack 50% of the time, when it's combined with any other environmental stressor, 100% of the time!

I'd have to say coffee, oil, and milk.

For some reason, avocado. I can't touch it at all. In fact, the attacks avocado give me are the reason I went to the doctor and got diagnosed in the first place. It's only in the last couple of years that I've added up that normal people don't get cramps and nausea all the time and that I'm justified in complaining about it!!
Coffee is a big trigger now, but I used to drink lots and lots of it. Egg yolk is my other big baddie.

But I just can't make myself give it up entirely! That and fat. A big greasy meal will send me into pain madness!

Aren't avocados usually considered a safe soluble fiber choice? It's listed on Heather SF food list.
Do others have problems with avocados as well?
I just bought some to try as a spread and now I'm wondering if maybe I should toss them. This adding new foods thing is baffling!

I eat Heather's Guacamole all the time and I even eat a half avocado with a little lemon juice occasionally. I always eat the guacamole with lots of Baked Tostitos or with flour tortillas and the plain avocado as part of a meal, so the soluble fiber cushions the fat content.
I really do believe that there are different triggers for different people, although some are more universal than others. That does mean adding new foods can be confusing, but not adding new foods gets awfully boring. I'd say try a little bit of the avocados you bought - with some soluble fiber - and see how you do.
If you bought lots of avocado, you can freeze the rest of them until you see how you tolerate avocado. Once they're ripe, mash them, add a Tablespoon of lemon or lime juice per avocado, put them in a plastic Ziploc bad, squish them to the very bottom of the bag, sqeeze out all the air, lock the bag, and roll it up. I've done this and the frozen avocado makes great quacamole.
