I had a hard time w/ bloating even after several months of a strict diet of meat, canned fruit, cooked veggies and olive oil. Another poster sent me info on fructose and after eliminating fruits that are high in fructose, the bloating has essentially resolved and I've been able to tolerate Snickers (gift from heaven), Sorbet (corn syrup), and small amts...

I saw Dr Gray yesterday. Because my antibodies (positve IgA and EMA, but negative transglutinamase) and biopsy (negative) were done 6 mos post gluten restriction, he wanted me to do a gluten challenge and re do the biopsy. Well, being in the middle of a divorce and going back to work, I just can't fit that in. He did order the gene tests, but said...

By virtue of eliminating so many foods, I found myself on the Paleolithic diet for a few months. During that time I also gave up nuts and have since found that I can't eat all fruits or in excess. The only difference for me now is that I have added sugar back in to sweeten my tea or to dip a banana in brown sugar as a treat (weird, I know). It's been...

Thanks to some information that Corrine sent me (THANK YOU, CORRINE!) about how the high fructose to glucose ratio of some fruits can be harder to digest, I eliminated apples, peaches, and pears, of which I had been eating in abundance. The gas symptoms disappeared and I have been able to tolerate lower fructose containing fruits such as berries, bananas...

My appt at Stanford is on Aug 6th. I'll post about my experience.

Yes, I have. Have you cut out any other food groups ie dairy? Another poster provided me with these links. They have info on fructose. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link I found that eliminating apples and peaches, that I was eating a lot of, has helped a lot. I'm now sticking to berries, cantaloupe, and bananas. Still...

What about those sweet liquors like Contreau or Triple Sec (Must haves for Margaritas!) And is high end vodka okay?

Hey, I'm in Calif! In the foothills east of Lodi. And my parents live in Clovis which I visit every couple of months. PF Changs and Outback have worked for me. Picnicing seems to work out best though.

I have intermittent kidney area pain. It usually starts on one side or the other and sometimes radiates in any direction. And I find the urge to stretch it as well, which doesn't help. Nor does large doses of ibuprofen. It sent me to the ER Easter weekend after not subsiding for 3 days. I thought I had a stone or an infection. The pain really wasn...

Thanks for the responses. I'll get the book. I'm also seeing a malabsorption specialist next month, so fingers crossed, that he'll be helpful. I've been doing an elimination diet, down to beef, unprocessed pork, chicken, green veg, fruit, tea, & olive/canola oil for 2 months. I admittedly add sugar to my tea and unsweetened gluten free canned...

I've been doing something similar to the SCD as well as elimating lectins for about 2 months and it's been helping. I eat fruit but I can tell when I've had too much. Meat and green vegetables work the best for me to avoid gassiness, but I love fruit and small amounts aren't too bad on me. Funny, I'm seeing a specialist in August as well, we should...

OMG, YES! Exactly as you stated it. I have noticed an improvement and just checked in the mirror again to confirm! Now if we could just get rid of those undereye circles

hhmm? No responses. Maybe I didn't word my question well? I guess I'm wondering how helpful and thorough food sensitivity testing is. I see individual enterolab results and others listed at the bottom of differents posts and I'm interested in whether that resolved the GI symptoms. I've been doing an elimination diet and food challenges, but it's...

What has been your experience w/ eliminating foods that you tested postive for? Did eliminating all the positive foods result in your GI symptoms clearing up?

Does anyone use this product and know it to be okay? I no longer have the boxes and my friend doesn't sell it anymore. Just trying to eliminate anything that might be glutening me.
