Mandie,
Have they tested you for celiac disease?
If you have not been tested for it, do not stop eating wheat/gluten foods. As this can produce a false negative. There are two ways to test for Celiac. 1) a blood test & 2) a biopsy. From what I am told, most doctors (including mine) do not rely on one test, but rather both to diagnose Celiac Disease.
I am very new to my IBS diagnosis, but not new to all of the symptoms. I've known for many years, what a few of my triggers were.
Between following Heather's diet plan and taking her fiber/tummy tamer's capsules, I have been able to control a lot of my symptoms for 6+ weeks now. Some lapses in symptoms, were directly related to not following both the diet and the supplements.
That said, until you are sure of what your full diagnosis/diagnoses are, it is very hard to procede.
I know that it isn't much, but I hope any of this helps!
Good Luck!
