Hi Kat. I don't want to impose, but if you wouldn't mind sharing your thoughts with me, I might benefit from them. I know Minnie has tried many elimination diets and although I have not gone that route yet, I am beginning to try to find an IBS "plus" symtom too like fructose or ww/gluten to be the cause for my gas. The first part of Little Minnie's post described me so well...the embarrassment from the gas and the foul odors. It's weird b/c I can't recall it being like this before on a daily basis...yes, food related at times but not so constant. It almost seems like the d I had got rid of all the bacteria in there so it eliminated my gas. I do have bms pretty regularly now so I would think that would be enough but maybe it's something else. Thank you for your insight. I often think that I am just wired this way too. And hang in there Little Minnie. I admire your tenacious attitude despite your frustration.
