I also secretly hope for something someday to click and be like 'all this time I couldn't digest this' or 'I was allergic to that' but I have done elimination diets and not felt better. If I hadn't done them it would be different. I know my main triggers that give me D but avoiding them does not help my bloating at all.
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
