Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Questions about refined sugar and other diet issues

Hi:),
If you haven't....was thinking you could get a copy of your records from that GI to see what they meant by their comment. Was testing of the gall bladder or for celiac done? I've read somewhere that it takes a long time for the intestines to heal from gluten, even if haven't been eating it for a long time. I was off it for a few years, but found no big difference, just that I was eating too much of it, like when I'd eat the pasta especially. Did they do an endoscopy, where they were able to go further up into the end of the small intestine above the ilium?

Good you found out wheat free helped and sugar doesn't, which I find easy to follow. I've done EFI here combined with fodmaps diet without a nutritionist (not avail. on ins.), not a difference for me, except I think white spelt does me better;Even then, fodmaps had advertised a whole grain spelt that would kill me. I had already found out a while before that too much of sulphur foods didn't do me well. Found asparagus worked better.

The soluble fiber was acacia? Before, I was on the acacia for over many years and had built up slowly, then when I got on the recommended probios Align and then VSL#3, I got too much gas every evening until I went off acacia (prebiotic..slow fermenting for others I suppose);Then onto the methyl-cellulose that is not ferment-able, hence have had better days for at least 4 mos.
