I'm trying my best to hang in there. It's so hard to deal with this. I never thought I'd get this ever.

Sorry, I forgot to post that I don't have a bread machine. I can't buy one either since I'm on a very tight budget. I can only make food by hand. Sorry about that.

Well, I'm not sure about Canadian food labels, but ingredient labels in the US actually give the percentage of calories (per serving) that comes from fat. If your labels don't do this, you might have to do some math in your head. Each gram of fat has 9 calories. So take the number of fat grams times 9 and there are your fat calories. See what percentage this is of the total calories in a serving. You want that percentage to be under 25% (and if you're really in a cycle of attacks, I'd keep things under 20% till you stabilize).
It sounds like you might have to stick to oatmeal, cream of rice, plain white bread, potatoes, rice, and pasta. If the commercial bagels, fortune cookies, soda crackers, etc. all have egg yolks or dairy it's best to avoid them.

I do drink lots of water. At least 8 cups or more. It's hard since I'm always so full because of all this gas. I can hardly eat since I'm so full and bloated. Thanks very much.

Here, they don't show the percentage of fat from calories. Thanks. Now I know how to figure it out.

What are digestive enzymes actually? Are there side effects?

Angel, I had all the bloating and gas, I really think that the Zelnorm my doctor gave me helped with that part of my IBS problem. See if you can get them to give this to you.

Hi Angel, I am knew to this. My doctor tested me for Celiac Disease a year ago and the blood test and biopsy came back negative. However, I was not able to eat anything with glueten for about two weeks. I discovered Celiac.com, which has a lot of great receipes with little fat and sugar. Another way to find recipes is to check Google.com. It is a search engine and type in fat free recipes. Another site to check is my-meals.com. It is a long list of fat free recipes. Hope this is helpful and good luck!
