Off topic – I am highly sensitive to garlic. If I eat a small amount, I get stomach pains for a couple of days. If I eat a lot of it, I curl into a ball for about five hours with agonizing pains and gut spasms.

It’s the fact it is a FODMAP, and the technical term for what happens to be is “distension of the intestinal lumen”.
