Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Debilitating Reflux and Discomfor

Hello Jennifer- Thanks for the insight. I dont eat dairy because i am severely intolerant and I cut out gluten because I am intolerant and may have celiac (have one of the 2 genes and my stool antibody tests were positive)- waiting on biopsy results. I feel like part of my problem is definitely in my mind and eating has become a whole psychological thing with me...is it safe to eat this? does this have gluten? even if its gluten free is there something else in there that isnt good for me? etc, etc. , but I feel like i need to start feeling physically better before the mental stuff balances out. Also my colon is so sensitive that if i stray from my diet even slightly everything gets messed up. since the holidays i have been having constipation with narrow stools and colon spasms, all because i was a bit more liberal with food while I was home for xmas. I even had some treats at a gluten free bakery and something in them triggered a reaction. as for the reflux, lately it seems like fruits are the problem which leads me to believe I might have a fructose intolerance, so im backing off on certain fruits for a while. its just ongoing insanity and something as simple as eating is ruining my life. anyway, thanks for your feedback and if you have more please write back
