Hi Fen, you're absolutely right, we have discussed this before. At the same time, writing down how I feel about a particular approach really helps me. I'm not good at keeping any kind of long-term diaries, but this way I can just use the search function and read about what I tried and how it made me feel. Plus, you are the only people I can talk to about diet/IBS who actually get it. My husband, for example, is very understanding and sympathetic, but I need to talk to someone who knows where I'm coming from.

The thing that keeps me trying the GF diet over and over are the tons of testimonials on the internet, when everyone's like, "I cut out gluten and all my intestinal problems were gone, and my skin's better". I want it to be this easy, too, so I guess I subconsciously believe that maybe this time the GF diet would work. At the same time, my gut (my actual gut as well as my intuition) keeps telling me that gluten probably isn't my problem.

I'm going to stay away from white rice for a while and see what happens. I ate quite a bit of white rice products in the past week so that could be why the C. I stocked up on buckwheat, brown rice, quinoa, and brown rice and spelt pasta.

Your answer actually helped me a lot, I especially like the paragraph about two ways to eat GF. Unless you make everything from scratch using the flours of your choice, you're going to find white rice in lots of GF breads and mixes.

Thanks for listening to my venting !
