Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: A few questions..THANK YOU

Thanks.
I guess the fructose diet freaks me out because the only thing that I seem to tolerate is plain bread and buckwheat pancakes and rice. I am really concerned that if I go on the fructose friendly thing I wont have anything to eat.

I have never been breath-tested but I had blood tests, colonoscopy and endoscopy. All clear except I was a bit intolerant of gluten but not coeliac.

I went to an a natural medicine Dr and they gave me some test where you hols two iron bars in your hand and they are wet. They told me I had candidiasis and that I was allergic to casein.
Is it true that if that is the case then that is what is causing the IBS symptoms or is it more likely I have IBS and the candidiasis is just another thing. THey said to get rid of the candidiasis I'd have to eat no bread, no bananas and they are what I live off! I just do not know what to do all I know is that plain rice and plain things seem to be all I can eat and I am not getting any fruit or veg except really soft pureed pumpkin and banana etc..Scared I am losing too many nutrients.

How important are those breath tests? I dont know anyone who ddoes them where I live in Queensland. But I heard there is a Dr Shepherd in Melbourne but that would be a looong trip for me and expensive.
