Cindy, Yes it's difficult & expensive, but so is IBS until you find out what you can eat and what to look for. You start off slow and take your time. There is a lot of help out there just like this wonderful web sight. I think the only real thing I find expensive is the bread but in time I hope to learn to make my own. It's trial and arrow and there will be some gluten item you will not like and there will be some that are very good. And as far as your C, I think you just need to eat the right kind of food just like IBS the soluble & Insoluble in order to help your system. We are also still on the Benifiber and Fennel tea which I think helps also. There are several web sights out there that help and livingwithout.com has some recipes to help you get started, and little by little you'll learn what's gluten free. But if you start off with natural foods, vegetables and fruits, just like IBS, thats a great start there. Also there are lots of things that are coming out with Gluten free. I can tell you we do miss the good breads and pastas but we have learned to leave without it for now, only because I haven't found a good pasta that I like yet that's gluten free. But rice and potatoes are great. I wish you the best of luck. I for one know it's not easy to get the Doctors to listen and take the time to try and find out what's wrong. IBS is a good start as long as you stay away from the breads and pastas. Just think Fresh foods.
Good Luck and God Bless,
eva
