Jordy, you're back! I've been wondering about you! I don't really blame you for staying away, however. I too think the boards harm more than help lately, particularly the fructose hysteria. I've no doubt that a significant number of IBSers are helped by a fructose free diet, however it is not the answer for all IBSers. And it's definitely not the answer for those of us who have been misdiagnosed as having IBS by doctors who don't really know what else is going on!

I am following a gluten free diet now. The clincher was when they tested my vitamin B12 levels and they are obscenely low, and there is no rational explanation for it. I do not have pernicious anemia, I don't have any pancreatic problems, I do eat meat. There is no reason other than undiagnosed Celiac Disease for my levels to be as low as they were. I've not had an endoscopy done. I have a new doctor and he is talking about doing something called a Schilling Test, but he's fairly certain the results will show CD. So I've been completely gluten and dairy free and gradually upping my IF intake and I've been doing pretty well. Not perfect, still sometimes gassy and bloated in the evening, but I've been consistently going to the bathroom a few times a day with no straining.

The best news is that between following the gf diet and receiving B12 injections, my energy levels are slowly starting to come back. I'd been feeling crappy for so many years, I forgot what it felt like to get through a day without needing a nap! It's amazing!

Enough about me! How are you doing? Are you still following the gf diet?

I'm no longer taking the Acacia or any SFS, by the way. They all make me too nauseous. And I no longer feel I need them.
