Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Wonderful News to Share!

Hi Allisonmary! It's great to hear from you! My doctor shares my excitement and went so far as to check with toxicology with news that I can stay on Clarinex or Claritin forever without problems. What I have found out about my GI issues are that I have Lactose, Fructose, and Histamine Intolerances. I have learned recently that I do not absorb Magnesium, so my serum levels remain below the desired levels. I will be receiving Magnesium infusions soon to improve the required mineral. Magnesium is important and necessary for metabolism of other minerals, foods with Calcium and the functioning of most organs in the body. I'm keeping new food diaries and they are helping me. I can eat certain fresh fruits that have a balance of fructose & glucose. The internet provides charts of these foods. Also, there are food charts on diets that are lower in histamine, too. It's a good idea to download them for guidelines. I'll send you my links to make it easier for you. Here are those links: http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/internet/digestive-health/nutrition/low-fructose-diet.pdf

As you can see, most of these links are from Europe and relatively new! But hang in there.... I think we're coming to a breakthrough with this soon.
