Kim, How did you figure out you had a yeast overgrowth in your digestive tract? Are there tests for that? I was told by my OB/GYN a few months ago that I had a little yeast problem 'down there', but had no symptoms; haven't since. But I was wondering if maybe it was due to a yeast overgrowth in my digestive tract since I haven't had antibiotics for well over a year or anything else that could cause it 'down there'. How did you know? I have an excessive amount of gas all the time - also a 'lazy' gallbladder. Can you help?

I know that when I eat something bad, it usually doesn't cause a problem for 1-2 days. While I have IBS-D, it still takes things a while to cause me problems. So I'd stick to safe food for now. When I have something bad and I'm not stable (which thankfully I'm starting to be!), it will set me back for literally WEEKS.
I wondered about a fiber supplement. Are you taking one? When I started acacia, I had horrible gas and bloating. It didn't stop until I had been at a stable dose for a few weeks with no increasing. Could it be that?
-------------------- IBS-D and STABLE!!!!
