What can't you eat?

alias_sqbrI thought about doing a poll (and may later) but people are so complicated decided it was easier just to ask. Partly out of curiousity, partly because having such extreme restrictions myself has made me want to be aware of other people's issues and cater to them where possible.
So: what can't you eat? I'm including moral choices and extreme taste preferences (ie you can't stand chili), but not anything where you'd rather not eat it but can put up with it if you have to, the operative word is can't.
So, mine:
I've gone back onto gluten (THANK GOD) but am otherwise being quite picky. So this is just where I'm at for now.
None: dairy, coconut, unfermented soy, chili, alcohol
Minimal: caffeine, cocoa or cocoa butter, artificial sweetners, acid (this includes fruits like plums and citrus, most fruit juices, salad dressing, preserved veggies and pickles, soft drink, and vinegar), spring onions/leek/watercress/chives, peppermint, paprika/red capsicum, fat (ie deepfried stuff), mustard, kidney beans, possibly pine nuts.
Also some artificial chemicals disagree with me but apart from artificial sweetners I haven't been able to pin down which exactly, so I just avoid overly processed foods. Gluten free flour mixes are definitely all bad, I think it may be the xanthum gum.
The usual disclaimers apply.

(The awesome thing was that my friends (one English, the other Thai) would test things to see if I'd be able to have it, but when spice they can't even taste is too hot for me...)

That's cheating!
