I did cut out dairy completely for the first two weeks. Then tried cheese. Waiting a while. Tried it again. Had no reaction directly to it that I could see. Maybe it's a building up factor. But there's so many weird things, I know we're all different. Like I try to eat a banana every day. However, when I made Heather's banana bread, I reacted to it. And yes, it was the bread. I even tried skipping a couple of days and then having it again and every time, I had D.

I decided last night to try calcium carbonate. This better help or I swear I'll go crazy.

I'm sorry to hear you're still having so much trouble.

It's a true pain trying to figure out what works for you. What's tough is when something that works for one person doesn't work for you and it just makes you feel more out of control and upset and depressed. Believe me, I hear where you are coming from. You are lucky you can handle lactose-free cheese! If I even look at lactose-free cheese I get a tummy ache. And if I overdo the soy cheese, I can end up reacting to that too due to the fat content and milk derivatives. Bleh!

*Hugs* to you. I haven't tried Heather's banana bread yet, but I have to be careful how I eat bananas.

I also have the habit of thinking "Oh, this food is IBS safe, I'll just have a couple more..." Then I realize I just finished off 5 of whatever it is and I'm in almost as much trouble as if I had eaten only 1 of an unsafe food.
