No I meant to post that. You asked the same question. I responded with the same answer. Use that list and keep a food journal. Cut back/eliminate foods that cause a reaction. Some that are on the NO list might be Ok and visa versa. My wife and I have been following it for years. We take a PPI and eat healthy. The FODMAP diet has helped us tremendously.

I'm glad you're feeling better!
I'd recommend keeping an eye on any symptoms while slowly getting back into your regular diet. c:
Yeah, I've gotten a couple of scares before after eating liquorice or blueberries before knowing they can affect stool colour.
Maybe that and also to ensure you get vitamins and salt into your system (as well as stay hydrated, which is always important).
so, the diarrhea had stopped. the stomach noises remained for a bit. I’ve just been eating the BRAT diet in the meantime. I’ve noticed my stools have been more yellow than usual. So I’m hoping to stay on the BRAT diet until the noises and stool color goes back to normal. Any ideas what’s causing the yellow stools? I normally have a range of yellow to brown. Whenever I have these flares, they tend to be more on the yellow side than usual.
I'm glad you're doing better (again)!
I'm not 100% sure about the yellow but it's most likely just due to change of diet and/or anxiety/stress, especially if it's something that tends to happen during flare ups.
thanks again for the advices
I thought I would update.
so I actually eventually went back to a brown color.
I noticed that when I ate more protein (which slows down my digestion) I actually had a more brown colored stool.
if I only eat fiberous foods like veggies and carbs, etc; it’s when I get the weird colors and faster digestion.
I also ate a lot of chocolate colored foods one day (chocolate protein pancakes, chocolate protein shake, chocolate candy, and chocolate icecream) and it kept my stool a brown color.
im beginning to think foods are a hit and miss for me. Sometimes they will cause problems and other times they don’t.
I still have avoided beans since I’m scared to go back.
