I could never pinpoint what foods caused trouble for me until I was an adult. Turns out I have (what I call) an intolerance to canola oil. No allergic reaction, but serious digestive trouble / etc. And it can be in anything. Different production runs of the same brand of crackers can use different oils so it is nearly impossible to identify unless you stumble upon it by accidentally fasting due to flight problems and just making hashbrowns (potatoes and canola) at your destination as a snack. I had accepted it as a fact of life until eliminating it from my diet, and lo and behold, food is always awesome.
