I'm aware that there isn't a definitive test. When I got my "diagnosis", no tests were done at all, which is why I put "diagnosis" in quotes. I've heard about FODMAPs, and have considered going on it in addition to Heather's diet.
Maybe I haven't done enough reading on FODMAPs, but I feel like combining the two at this stage would be too restrictive... I struggle to eat as it is (anxiety sufferer, so I eat rather sporadically), let alone properly. I do try, but it does take a lot of work for me.
^ Not that I'm trying to disregard your advice, Syl. This is more of a public reminder to make sure I do some reading.
