Wow, I didn't have a chance to reply yesterday, and I was so surprised when I saw how many responses this thread generated over the past 24h!

Fen, when I read your post, I was nodding my head so hard that I almost hit the keyboard! I've had a very similar experience. When I eat a lot of carbs (especially wheat) I get really puffy and I am bloated and have cramps. When I tried cutting those out I was less puffy, still bloated with cramps, and my C got worse. So I've always felt like there was a trade-off - bloating and cramps will always be there, plus I can either be puffy or my C would be worse (because it's not like my C goes completely away when I do eat wheat). Weight isn't a number one priority for me in this case, however, if I could loose a few pounds it wouldn't be too bad . Once can resemble a goodyear's blimp no matter what the scale says !

Fancymom - I'm the same way with tofu. A while ago I finally decided to stop trying to like it. I use chicken and egg whites for protein instead.

I have tried Elaine Gottschal's diet before here but I had to quit after a couple days since my bloating actually got worse and so did the cramps. I just couldn't take it anymore. But it is possible that I went too crazy a little too fast. For example, I did try eating salads, beans, etc.

I've had every test under the sun and I never tested positive for candida or SIBO (small intestine bacteria overgrowth). At the same time, my GI said that although all of my tests were negative they are not 100% right and I should play with different dietary approaches.

I think I will reconsider everything today and try to combine the diet Kim outlines with Heather's guidelines. After all, it's not like Heather says that sugar is mandatory. Also, I will try not to eat yeast stuff. I have a spelt flour at home so I will make a bread, using baking powder instead of yeast.
