mrae:
I do have IBS as well as wheat intolerance and as you know lactose intolerance too. Although, I can tolerate fat free organic yogurt. But here is a list of some foods that I eat on a daily basis:
Breakfast:
fat free Stonyfield Farms organic yogurt
cereal: Puffins, Natures Path corn flakes or mesa sunrise cereals
banana
wheat free rye bread from Food For Life
Simply Orange orange juice
some mornings I also eat Van's wheat/dairy free waffles (delicious!)
Lunch:
banana or cooked vegetables
a piece of wheat/dairy free zucchini or pumpkin bread ( I am lucky enough to have a local natural foods store that bakes these, but I know there are recipes on here to make them too!)
somedays I drink Odwalla Soy Milk protein drinks
Dinner: many options
rice pasta with marinara sauce
marinara sauce is either Amy's Marinara or Newman's Own Marinara
cooked vegetables
canned peaches, pears or fresh mango
spelt bread (I know it is a branch of wheat but I can tolerate it)
Amy's Baked Ziti Bowl-gluten and dairy free
Amy's rice crust and soy cheese pizza-gluten/dairy free
Health Valley vegetable soups or chicken w/rice soups
Imagine tomato soup
I also eat Ezekiel rolls which use sprouted grains that I can tolerate
For meat I eat Ian's gluten/dairy free fish sticks and chicken nuggets
I also make wraps using rice tortillas and Applegate Farms' deli meat, I chop up roma tomatoes to put in the wrap
( I eat mostly organic, can you tell?)
cooked vegetables include corn, peas, sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and zucchini
I drink Silk Soymilk with meals and lots of water throughout the day.
I put honey, organic jams and Soy Garden "buttery" spread on my breads and waffles
I hope this helps you! If you need anything else please ask. I know it seems daunting but I know you will find your way!

I also support you trying the diet and seeing if it does help but be warned that you could have a honey moon period of feeling well on the gluten free diet. My BIL is celiac and thought my symptoms looked like his so I got tested. My blood test was inconclusive so I tried it and felt really good for four months then the symptoms (ibs) starting showing up again. The forum I belonged to kept insisting that I was getting hidden gluten somewhere and I turned myself into a paranoid freak about food and cross contamination. Long story short, my mom and sister carefully explained to me how worried they were about how many foods I was eliminating (gluten, soy, high fructose, dairy (have to eliminate that tho) etc). I took a hard look at everything and noticed that yeah, I am really not better doing this gluten free thing. I was diagnosed with IBS and colitis in my younger years. So I slowly started adding back in the wheat but with Heather's safe white bread mostly sour dough and so far so good. I am not trying to stear you away from gluten free just wanted you to know that if it helps stay with it but if it doesn't it could be just the many ways that ibs manifests itself. Good luck!

Yes I am going to have see a very big improvement in order for me to stay eating gluten free. I will give it a month or two but by then if it hasn't done me any good I will not continue it. Why put yourself through that if you don't have to.

One more thing also is I have not been extremely sick how some people with gluten intolerance seems to be if they eat gluten. My main problem is urgency, and fatigue. Every once in a while I will have cramps but it is not on a daily basis. So if this gluten free doesn't work after a few months than I will not continue it.

They are negative! whew! I had an endoscopy yesterday and they took a biopsy anyway, just to double check. But seeing as the last biopsy was negative, I'm not worried.
The GF diet didn't really help me, which is why I always thoguht I didn't have celiac.

That is so good. I am happy for you. Now you won't have to deal with eating a way that makes you feel terrible anyway.

Well so far eating wheat/gluten free hasn't helped at all. So now my doctor wants me to eat low fat which is what I was doing to begin with. I have started taking Lomotil to deal with it for now until we can figure out what else to do.
