I'm starting to wonder if maybe instead of having IBS I could just have chronic constipation plus GERDS? I seem to be fine and even a little bit better when I drink skim milk and low fat dairy products as long as it's not yogurt (makes me a bit gassy) or fatty which triggers multiple things. I am also okay with many strange veggies that normally would be considered "off limits" like brocolli and spinach. Also I can eat whole wheat products just fine!  I'm so confused because I just ran out of my glycolax so I'm C right now. Please help!

If you can eat lots of IF veggies, then go for it, tho I'd still eat them safely. And fyi dairy is often a long-term problem rather than an immediate trigger...many of us have thought we were fine with it until we removed our main triggers.
I assume you're being treated for the GERDs, yes?

AFAIK, constipation is not at all a symptom of GERD.

Yeah I'm also taking Nexium which I forgot to mention earlier and it's helped SOOOOO much! I'm even able to eat some tomato products again thanks to it! I guess I'll have to wait and see about the dairy. Maybe once I have more Glycolax I can test it out to see if I'm still C while eating it? THanks so much for your help!
