Re: question about sugar??       03/26/05 11:36 AM Edit Reply Quote badlydrawnboy Reged: 03/01/05 Posts: 111 If eating sugar makes people feel better, and not worse, then I'm all for saying "what the heck". That's why I always advocate experimenting and discovering what works for each unique body. FYI parasitic infections are NOT necessarily easy to diagnose or treat, and therefore it's not always clear whether the symptoms one is experiencing are IBS or something else. In my case, I had SEVEN negative stool test results before finally testing positive for Giardia and E. Histolytica. I've had several treatments over the course of six years and, though recent stool tests have been negative, based on my current health status and previous experience with false negative test results I'm not at all convinced I'm free of these bugs. Western medicine is still quite primitive in this arena. So... if someone is dutifully following the guidelines of this diet and not seeing any improvement, and things like sugar tend to make them feel much worse, it could be a sign there is something else going on. In my case, if I eat mostly SF (bread, rice, pasta, etc), the pain/cramps/spasms are reduced but I feel like I got hit by a truck, the constipation worsens dramatically, and I can hardly function. So clearly there's more to it than "IBS", which is by the way a very non-specific diagnosis in the first place. FWIW... Chris Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
