I am going to stop the test at this time. I will see what the doctor says tomorrow about a wheat intolerance test.
Also I didn't lose any weight at all. I went through all that work of avoiding eating at night and not eating sugar and I still am exactly the same! I find that I think about food way too much. I am pretty much always thinking about what I get to eat. I think I am an emotional eater in that it is enjoyable and you can take a break and not think about anything else while you eat. So I have to figure out something that will help me lose weight. With my present job I just cannot lose it like I used to.
As for my test of foods. That was inconclusive. I wasn't bloated much at all in the beginning and that was great, but I still was bloated some so it wasn't perfect. Since I got D so bad last Sunday from eating out it really ruined the whole experiment. I couldn't recover from that enough to really be testing myself like I had been. I started back on wheat on Thursday and had soy milk Saturday and feel just like I always did. I was pretty bloated today like always. I suppose I will try again to test out certain foods to see if I feel better but I guess I won't do it in conjunction with dieting and avoiding sugar.
Also I am still T Tapping and am going to a clinic with a trainer on the 20th. I am also going to be doing other exercises some days and need to figure out a routine.

I am pretty bummed I went through all of that work and didn't get any results. I will always blame that stupid pancake restaurant for it!

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
