Does it truly make you constipated?

I have found that sometimes apples make me bloated cause of the fiber, but never constipated. In the past I have confused bloating with constipation.

Apples are high in fructose, so you could be fructose intolerant. There is a breath test you can have to diagnose this.

If it's just apples that cause the C, then maybe just avoid apples?:)

I'd be interested in that breath test. I believe I am allergic to fructose... I get eczema like symptoms from most any fruit except lemons...

my spouse's mother always said apple or banana could help your bowels 'slow down' after an upset stomache, so you may not be alone!

There's a lot of information on hydrogen breath testing here: Open Original Shared Link

You fast for 12 hours, then they measure the hydrogen levels in your breath over a period of time, while having you ingest small amounts of fructose (it can also be used to test for lactose intolerance in which case they'd give you lactose).

I know that here in Australia you can arrange the testing through your doctor or a registered dietician, but not sure in US.

      Products that help to break down potential accidental gluten exposure

      GliadinX is such a product and many/some report it really helps. In the interest of disclosure, the company that produces it is one of our sponsors.

      Products that help to break down potential accidental gluten exposure

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Occasionally eating out in restaurants means that there is potential cross contamination in spite of ordering a gluten free dish. What enzyme supplements can the forum recommend that would help with potential cross contamination? Something I could take before I start eating. I used to order Wheat Rescue from Microbiome lab, but it is not available anymore.

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.
