I did test positive once. I was on something at the time and when retested and it was negative my GI doc said the first was wrong. I am not sure why the second wasn't wrong not the first, so I have done several G elims. The only time I felt better off G was when I was off pretty much everything else too (sugar, soy, chocolate, all additives etc).
I haven't seen anything that proves IBS is better without G. I have read otherwise.
But I think IBS is better if we eat nothing heavy or really caloric and if a person eats normal amounts of bread, especially bagels, it may lead to feeling yucky and thinking it is G. Sometimes it isn't the food itself but how it was eaten, how fast and how much.
--------------------
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!
