I meant whole wheat by WW. I don't mean to confuse anyone by discussing wheat, gluten, and fructose in the same thread. I'm just reaching at the moment for the culprit of my gas/bloat which may in turn just be the plain IBS. But it's certainly worth a try avoiding each of these at a time in a trial few weeks since many people say they've had success. Hope you find an answer too. (And by the way, my g gets worse of course if I haven't had a bm but the weird thing is the empty stomach. I was shopping today and I was fine up until about 4PM when I realized I hadn't eaten.  )

Thanks Syl. The interesting thing is that when I was stabalizing, I didn't have all this gas/bloat. I think some of it was in part b/c each time I got d, I would empty my system and feel good for awhile before it built up again. I was also following the diet and having no "outright whole wheat" but I'm sure there were things as on the lists in the links you gave me that I had. I did eat fruits, but primarily smoothies with bananas and berries in them. I could swear I ate cantaloupe back then though too  . Anyhow, my point is that in Feb., I started taking lexapro which swung me to the C side and I'm trying to recall if it's since then that the gas worsened or was it b/c I got more stable and started to add more wheat and fructose into my diet. I guess it's silly to try and backtrack though. I am still a little confused about how to follow the diet appropriately (it seems less clear-cut than Heather's) but I'm going to give it a whirl by starting at square one. Thanks for all your help. You really know your stuff!

Blue Diamond just came out with an almond milk that has NO SUGAR. Also I use cream of rice (made with just water) when I am really having trouble.

It doesn't matter if the ingredients are organic or not.
Grapes and fruit juices including grape juice are given as having more fructose than glucose in Table 2 of this reference
Pure corn flakes and cornmeal are ok but be careful of the IF content.

Pure sugar (sucrose i.e white or brown sugar) is okay in moderation.
I eat oatmeal for breakfast everyday so I don't worry or know much about other cereals. However, rice and corn cereals without HFCS or fruit, especially dried fruits and fruit juice concentrates, are safe. With all cereals you have to be careful of how much IF is in them.
Is this diet making a difference to your gas and bloating yet?
