Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi Jordy. I did leave them a phone message yesterday with no response still but the items arrived today anyway. I can't believe it took so long. I haven't tried them yet (bagels and bread) but the bagels are about the size of a mini-donut! Anyhow, I'm not really following a gluten free diet, I am just experimenting b/c I was having a lot of foul gas and couldn't pinpoint whether it was gluten, wheat, or fructose related. The funny thing is that I haven't had that type of gas in about a week! I have been exercising vigorously (haven't done in years) which may be helping??? I know exercise helps move the gas along, but I think for me it is the fact that I am having about 2 bms/day now instead of just one. Not sure. Also, I LOOOOVE bagels. I had posted about having a DD bagel with some strawberries awhile ago and I had HORRIFIC gas afterwards (nothing else unusual that day or night before)and Syl mentioned that they have HFCS in them. HOWEVER, I have eaten a spinach bagel from a place near my house nearly every day this past week and I've been fine. So then I tried strawberries on three different occassions and I was fine too!!! GO FIGURE!

I never know what to think but I am avoiding DD! I am just keeping my WW intake lower and I figured it wouldn't hurt if I got my bagel obsession satisfied at home with the gluten-free ones. Then I would have less guessing. I'll let you know how they taste. (btw..they were expensive and the shipping cost 11 something!!!)
