Syl,
You seem to have really figured it all out. I could really use some help, but no one seems able to advise me. How should I best organize my diet? I believe I have celiacs also-my Dr. has taken me off gluten, because my fatigue, bloating and arthritis at a very young age are indicative of celiacs. I admit eliminating gluten improved these problems somewhat, but I have not really complied consistently, because I like to work out a lot, and really need carbs. Where else would I get the energy?
But arthritis and allergies and bloating are getting to me. The one difference between me and most IBS and Celiacs is that I am extremely C, and never get D. I have a very sluggish dry colon, and the even the gradual introduction of SF really upped the gas factor. I had to quit the acacia fiber.
So raw vegetables, soy (serious bloat and indigestion), fruit, most grains (bloating-even with quinoa), dairy, oils, legumes, and of course meats are out. I am exhausted and confused. Where do I begin? I have read Heather's books. They are comforting, but I think she is dealing with a different problem. Most of Heather's safe foods are not safe for me. Virtually all gluten-free bread has fruit juice in it. Grains and carbs cause bloat and C. I am allergic to eggs. When I did eat chicken and fish-it increased the C.
I really don't even know if the causes of the bloat and the C are related. I have yet another condition-with the symptoms of Sjogren's Syndrome (although I tested negative, the rheumatologist acknowledges that I have the hallmarks-every part of my body that is supposed to be moist-is very dry, including my colon, hence the Miralax) and the test indicated there is some auto-immune activity going on.
With all this-I wish I could combine all the doctors, and diets for IBS, celiacs, and figure out what to do. It's a mess.
Any ideas?
