Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only who can't seem to eat a nibble of bell peppers. I can pretty much do everything else, but they just kill me. (so sad, my dad grows tons of beautiful ones in his garden too.)

Ditto. I just cannot tolerate them, raw or cooked. Salsa is even off limits! I can tolerate a small amount of chilis, though. Bizarre.

I tolerate veggies and IF pretty well. I just make sure to have SF first most of the time, but sometimes I nibble in the garden on an empty stomach. I think all veggies are acceptable for the most part and shouldn't be thought of as forbidden foods; except when you have certain vegetables that cannot be tolerated, such as cabbage. Most tolerated, coooked: all root veggies, if eaten slowly and not like a horse, raw carrots are fine too mushrooms spinach peas green beans zucchini creamed corn
Asparagus broccoli artichokes peppers leeks onions etc
corn niblets cauliflower tomatoes cucumbers raw bean sprouts and that kind of thing
least tolerated: lettuces especially iceberg, raw cabbage, regular not napa corn on the cob beans, dry (not really a vegetable)
That is all I can think of.

Does the way you grouped your foods mean anything? Is the first group the easiest, the next set a little rougher, etc?
Your last group is the only one that says least tolerated...so I was wondering if there was any significance to the way you grouped your foods.
Do you puree all your veggies or eat them whole? I am in awe that you can eat brocolli. Maybe I shouldn't be so afraid to try some! How much can you eat of the veggies at once time? A normal serving size...like 3 1/2 to 4 oz?
