Depends. It may affect you or not. The way to know if it does is elliminate all the substances you suspect, and see if you feel better. Then you can reintroduce them to your diet one by one, every third day, to see if any particular food gives you symptoms. This way you find the culprit (if any). In my case, I can eat anything, food is not one of y triggers. You just have to see for yourself.
