THANKS for responding...and THANKS for your book!
I'd never posted before and no one responded and I was beginning to lose hope.
So I guess sourdough bread is OUT for me, (maybe it works for people who HAVE a gallbladder/but I have bile salt D/IBS (maybe)anything acidic is a real no no for me! 
I'll eat plain white bread or rice as an exception at a restaurant only -
I eat only foods that are low-moderate glycemic index/glycemic load - these foods keep me fuller longer and are more nutritous - closer to unprocessed. I eat oats, barley, pasta, the safe low gi vegs/not high isf, cooked well not in oil and only after soluable fiber - and fruit after soluable fiber or as dessert only. LOVE your book!!!!!!!
I also want to know if LONG GRAIN WHOLE rice is okay. I cannot tolerate whole wheat at ALL, but whole grain OATmealbread is fine - but I try to avoid processed foods/labels with "high fructose corn syrups" and "hydrogenated oils" are definately OUT - only fine deli breads don't use these ingredients! And NO olive oil in the bread (like italian)...it's a natural laxative! So for now breads/cheap white high gi rices are out unless at a restaurant and no other choice and in that case NOT whole wheat or sourdough!!
I'm slowly learning what works for me. The lower the fat the better, but if I go to low I'm hungry all day and my hair falls out/skin dries up bad bad. I try to stick to ONLY healthy fats - monoUNsaturated - peanutbutter - sparingly at that for example.
The apples, yes, granny smith are highly acidic as are citris fruits/juices. I won't eat bananas too high gi.
I do not take a fiber supplement/have in the past - WAY too much bloating from ONLY 1 tsp of metamucil, citrucel I get GELLED up inside and NOTHING moves. I'm an all natural gal.
I am trying to "firm" things up here and "slow things down"...even if I don't have IBS and only Bile salt D (from gallbladder removal) I do believe I will only benefit from your diet. My system must get as much bile absorbed as possible and avoid ANY irritation or speeding up of movement/or it gets spasms in my colon.
Just started the Caltrate D - 1/2 tablet with meals. But I eat small meals often...so do I take it every 5-6 hours of the day? My days are LONG and I can eat as many as 4-8 small meals a day of allowed foods. ?? Thanks again.
In gratitude - Nancy in TC, MI
