I'm happy to share whatever I can that can be helpful to you! I will admit that I am a sugar freak, so I still consume sugar. What I found for myself is that processed, refined sugars, especially when coupled w/processed refined sugars, were huge triggers for bloating and pain. Almost as bad as dairy for me. I eat things like raw organic honey, or organic sugar in very small quantities, I also am a chocolateslut (yes you read that right!) so I found dark chocolate, vegan, organic bars at Trader Joes. Eaten in small quantities and not on an empty stomach, they do not cause me problems. I think I read that Heather also eats dark chocolate from time to time.

Also check out the blog for Gluten Free Girl - she's giving birth next week so her blogging will probably slow down, but her site is an amazing resource for all things GF. She does eat lots of things that we can't eat, but she writes about them so beautifully I still like to read it! She's a local gal too, I keep hoping I'll get to meet her some day.
