Hi Wendy-I just wanted to say that it took me a long time to figure out my food sensitivities. I can't eat anything with onions or garlic in it (those were my first IBS triggers). It started when I was 30, and I carried a bottle of Pepto Bismol with me everywhere for 2 years!

I learned that I couldn't eat in restaurants--it just wasn't worth it--unless I just have dessert and tea.

In the long run, the limited diet choices have been beneficial for me. I'm now 57, my weight is still good (135), blood pressure good, etc. due to the fact that I'm forced to eat more healthy foods and less quantity.

Sounds like you are gradually sorting things out for yourself, but remember, these things take TIME. Don't feel guilty about bad food choices--it happens--and you'll get better at "standing firm" with the right choices over time.
