Hi Syl,
Thanks again for your reply!
Ummm, I guess what I meant by the IF comment was that I was so used to consuming salads and lots of fruit and veg that when I went on the EFI diet I felt like I was consuming more carbs than the fresh stuff. I was still eating IF but not in high amounts. This helped my bloating and distention but not the C.
Now on FODMAP this has helped but I feel it also restricts a lot of the fruit and veges I used to eat eg: broccoli, stone fruits, snow peas, mushrooms, avocado etc.
I've been very stricly following FODMAP for 10 weeks now but I think you are right, I need to also combine these principals with the EFI diet, that just seems like more restriction!
To answer your whole grain cereal question I usually either eat oats or a frutose friendly muesli for breakfast which contains buckwheat, rice, millet, sunflower seeds, rice bran syrup.
I do however eat a spelt bread (recommended by dietician!) that is labelled whole grain.
She told me the EFI diet was too high in high GI carbs and sugar.
And so the contradicitions continue.
