I was recently diagnosed with IBS-C and am very confused about some things. I have both of Heather's books, but I still have some questions! I really appreciate everyone's help
1. I was tested negative for Celiac, so I am assuming I don't have a problem with gluten. I understand that Whole wheat bread and Whole grains can be irritating. Does this mean that any bread with the ingredients: Enriched Bleached Flour without HFCS s safe?
2. Is is possible to be okay with Whole Wheat bread, but be irritated by Whole Grain bread?
3. Eggs are a trigger food according to Heather, but does this mean that foods with small amounts of egg (at the end of the ingredient list) as an ingredient should also be avoided? Or is only egg cooked as a whole?
This gluten free bread contains egg as an ingredient, but is it safe to eat? Water, Brown Rice Flour, Organic Agave Syrup, Tapioca Flour, Whole Grain Sorghum Flour, Xanthan Gum, Cultured Brown Rice Flour, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Eggs, Whole Grain Amaranth, Sea Salt, Yeast, Natural Enzymes
4. Dairy is also trigger food according to Heather, but does that mean Lactose-free foods are safe? or do they have to be Dairy-free? -What about foods low in lactose such as hard cheeses? -What about foods that contain small amounts of dairy? (such as snack bars or chicken that has been marinated in yogurt)
5. I know Whey protein has dairy in it, but is Whey protein isolate more tolerable?
6. Bananas are tolerable, but should they be eaten in small amounts or is having a 2-banana smoothie safe?
7. I found a vegan protein powder that looks safe. Should this be ok? Ingredients: Proprietary Protein Blend (Raw Organic Pea Protein, Raw Cranberry Protein, Raw Organic Hemp Seed Protein), Organic Dutch Cacao, Organic Chocolate Extract, Organic Vanilla Extract, Stevia, Natural Cherry Extract, Medium Chain Triglycerides from Coconut, Ancient Sea Salt, Herbal (Tea Leaf) Extract, Natural Fibers (Fenugreek, Konjac), Natural Citrus Extract
