garlic and onions make me incredibly nauseous and sick to my stomach, but I can handle spicy foods with no problem

I can. However, raw onions don't like me, but I don't like them either, so it works out. I am fine if they are cooked.

No spicy food for me
Onion: I do best with dried, used as a seasoning.
Garlic: I do best with minced from a jar.

I can handle onions and garlic as long as it is cooked...spicy is OK as long as I don't over do it.

Onions I can only do in small amounts (and not raw), but everything else I'm totally good with. I eat spicy food like a fiend

Spicy foods: depends on the spice and how much. I can eat some mexican, chili (mild to medium), salsa, that type of thing, but not chili peppers, jalapenos, etc.
I CAN eat onions, just don't like them
I can eat garlic, which is good b/c I love it!

I can eat all of them. The only exception is when it's too spicy, because then I get heartburn. I usually eat mild to moderate spicy vegetarian chili. Yummm...

Spice is nice--I love foods with bite and crave pungent.
I do not eat raw onion, but cooked is wonderful. I cannot do raw garlic, either. I cook/blend & always eat with SF & IF.
I do have problems with bell peppers and tomatoes, though.

...that if you actually tried them, and then ate them more often, you might be surprised. Maybe not, but it's one of those things you never know until you try it. Just my .02, of course. 
Onions actually bothered me at first. But I couldn't see myself living even the next MONTH without onions - I grew up eating onions and garlic in EVERYTHING - so I kept eating them. Eventually my body said, yeah, ok, we get it, you're going to keep eating this, so we might as well get used to it - and now I have no problems. That's been the way with pretty much all of the IF foods I eat now - and as you know, I eat a **LOT** of IF.
Spicy food, fortunately, has never had ANY effect on my IBS, in all 19 years of having it. Neither has garlic. I sometimes get heartburn if I overdo it, but it's well worth chewing a couple Tums for. LOL!

I'm still trying to figure out how I can eat stuff so spicy/hot it makes me break out in a sweat, but a simple bell pepper - even cooked - even if it's been cooked in something and I pick it out, and eat around it, but the flavor is still there - gives me the most wicked indigestion you can imagine. Lasts for *days*.

That's like me with peanut butter. I know IBSers arn't supposed to have it, because of its fat content, but I don't have any problems with it. I've been eating it since I was about 3 or 4. Of course, if I overdo it, as with anything else, I then get problems. But, yeah.

Yes, to all three. However, onions can give me gas sometimes. I don't mind, but I'm sure those around me do Therefore, I only eat onions when I don't have to worry about the aftermath.

Actually, peanut butter is fine - it's fairly safe protein so long as you don't have loads of it. It's definitely one of my staples!
Oh, and garlic and onions are just fine with me (particularly when they're cooked well). I'm ok with spicy food, so long as it's only once or twice a week. I'm not a real heatseeker (outside of the great hummus with hot sauce I got the other day - yum!), though, so that may not really be an IBS limitation.

Ditto. If I indulge in peppers, I cannot get the taste/residue out of my stomach for days and it's just not worth it! It's not something I can eat around/ignore...there's something about bell peppers that just stains the food! I've tried them roasted/peeled, however...I think it's just something I've had my whole life with bell peppers. It's too bad because they are so colourful. Just looking at them makes my bum burn, though!
Chilles, on the otherhand don't bug me a bit. Weird.
Kate, IBS-D.

I also can eat all three and eat spicy Thai very often. I use a lot of garlic too; DH likes all of that stuff!

I can handle WELL cooked onions- they have to be cooked until clear.. or powdered onion..
Garlic has never (thankfully) been an issue
as far as hot pepper, etc spice- mild is ok, even most peoples idea of medium, but if it gets too hot it causes issues... and since my DH is king of superhot and grows and processes his own hot peppers I have to find ways around it

I can eat Garlic & onion, well cooked, but I'm cautios with the spicy. Right before I had this past flare-up with IBS, I was eating alot of spicey stuff. I would put red crushed pepper on almost anything! No more for me.
It's funny, looking back now, how bad I was eating right before my IBS kicked in again.

I can do well-cooked onions and garlic, but either one raw will tear me up.
Unfortunately, I've learned the hard way that I have to steer clear of spicy foods entirely.

I can eat spicy food but don't really enjoy the taste. Garlic and onions are fine also so long as I don't use alot of them.

spicy food?
Yes, but I don't like food too hot anyway
onions?
Not raw, but fine once cooked. I can't even pick them outr of salads etc when raw as I can still taste them from the lettuce etc and it KILLS me. Love them cooked though, I put them in everything!
garlic?
Yes, but not too much or it gives me D, so if a recipe says three cloves I'll use 1-2 and will be fine. So mild garlic yes, but too strong then no.
