Do you know of another board that we could connect on? I don't want to confuse the people here on "eating for IBS" board.
Great idea! I started a new thread for us on another board - click here .

Not to bud in here, but Quote:
do you use whole wheat flour tortillas, or regular? I haven't seen the ww ones here.
Are you gonna give up the gluten free diet to try this one? Good luck!

Tnanks so much for responding to my post! It was very interesting to read of your bacteria problem in India. From everything I've read it seems that antibiotics make a fungal condition worse..... so it's hard to understand why you would be feeling better. Although....feeling better is GREAT! I hope you continue to be on the "feel better" road.
After great consideration I have indeed decided to go on Diflucan for a little while. My problem is so bad that it seems to me the conition out weighs the possible side affects.
I've never heard of Apple Cider Vinegar caps, I'll have to look for that one. Or just drink it, as Kim had suggested in another post.
I'd love to keep in touch with you! I'm not sure this is the best board to discuss a fungus overgrowth. I'll keep you posted if I find another board which is better. I don't want anyone strictly on the Eating for IBS diet to be confused.
Be well.... Carolyn

I'm not GF anyway, I just don't eat wheat. I just have to take it one diet at a time. Flour tortillas are not as big as bagels and cakes, and I wouldn't eat more than one at a time anyway. But I don't have to worry about them for a while.

Hey ladies,
I am just noticing from your profiles that all of us seem to be C-dominant with bloating and pain...? I mean there are a lot of ways IBS can manifest itself, I just wonder if this overlap of symptoms has anything to do with candida overgrowth. Can't imagine they are completely unrelated.
Just a thought !

It only allows real butter and yogurt, and sparingly: cream cheese, organic, unsweetened whipping cream, and real, sour cream. Don't overdo the cheesecake thing. I used to eat a tiny piece as a "reward"/treat at the end of my day and make it last as long as possible. Somedays I had 2 small pieces. Something sweet to look forward to. It should be full-fat because there are artificial fillers in the lo- and no-fat versions.

I am D-dominant, and yes, I think they are related to fungus. Is that the only thing it could be....no, but a good way to find out is to experiment with the antifungal diet. Tests won't tell you.

Sorry...a big N-O to any sugar, real or artificial, especially artificial. However, Stevia is OK. I see that there will be soda coming out soon with Stevia as a sweetener. Wonder how that will taste?

JJIbeach, thanks for sharing your experience! It's very encouraging, and I'm glad you were able to get rid of the yeast overgrowth! I also started taking apple cider vinegar (along with caprylic acid), and I'm curious to see what happens .
