I was recently diagnosed with IBS after all the clinical tests came up negative. When I think back I have had problems since childhood but now they are more severe. As an additional option, I went to someone who tested my blood with various foods and have a rather extensive list of things I shouldn't eat. Basil, beet sugar, black pepper, clove and kidney beans are the worst. Tea, honey, buttermilk, wheat, pork, peaches, mustard and most of my favorite spices are second and brewers yeast, blue & swiss cheese, and cane sugar are the least bad for me. In addition he wants me stay off of all dairy products for the next six weeks and then wants to put me on a high protein diet. I have lost over 20 pounds which is good because I am quite over weight. Somebody please tell me how you can eat without wheat, dairy and cane sugar which is in almost everything. In addition to not having basil, marjoram, parsley, rosemary, sage, black pepper and clove. This has put such a strain on me and my marriage and is beginning to effect my job. In addition to working full time, I will be taking another college course starting next week and I'm not even close to knowing what to do about food. I'm eating rice products, oatmeal, home-made quacamole,chicken broth and chicken. My question at this point is should I give any merit to the food testing? Has anyone else had this done. I feel rather overwhelmed with information right now, ie. (eat for your blood type, eat according to food intolerance testing or eat according to Heather). I'm just beginning to read Heather's books and when I looked over the receipes I can see that I will need to adjust a lot of them if I follow my food sensitivity test. I just feel so lost and any input would be greatly appreciated.
