Purely anecdotal evidence, Cat, but I would go easy on foods that you think you might be allergic to. If you ever eat a lot of something and you end up spending a lot of time in the bathroom, I'd go easy on it.
I had easy access to a lot of chocolate for a couple of months when I was in my late teens. My Crohn's symptoms started showing up not long after. May have nothing to do with it, but I have often wondered if that was the trigger for me.
