Hi Lucia! I am not a frequent poster here but I read your post about having SIBO and I just had to chime in. Its great that you're feeling better with your new diet. What you're describing is akin to the diet I feel best on (I have SIBO too) except I don't eat any fruits except berries and I eat all meat (not just fish.) I run an online support group...

Hi. Extreme bloating can be a symptom of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO.) SIBO is very common in people with Celiac disease. In fact one in ten people with Celiac also have SIBO. Please review the relevant information on medicinenet: Open Original Shared Link Its a great resource on SIBO. The treatment is completely different; and the...

No, I haven't tried Lactaid. This dairy thing is new to me. I really still can't tell that it bothers me except for the bloating. There isn't any pain or anything, not like there is with sugar or fruits, just bloating. Fish is the ONLY food that doesn't bloat me though. Although today I bloated a little during yoga and all that I had eaten all day is fish...

Thank you for your reply. I agree that it is probably the sugar too. At least the sugar is probably the worst offender. I did cut sugar in all of its forms out completely for the first round of the elimination diet and I did feel quite a bit better, even the bloating was reduced, but it was still there. I just wasn't sure if it was supposed to go away completely...

can someone at least answer two questions as i embark on this gruesome quest a second time? 1. i have been vegetarian for 10 years and the thought of eating meat makes me sick. Obviously I need to however as my list of "safe foods" (I dont even know what is a safe food for me) grows smaller and smaller. Can anyone suggest a good source of meat given the...

Thank you for your reply. It's strange that you mention McDougall - I was McDougalling for the 2nd time ever when I started getting all the bloating and distention. The first time I loved it, lost tons of weight, had lots of energy. The second, not a pound came off and I got sick. Not necessarily sick from the diet, but clearly there was something changed...

I have not been diagnosed celiac; in fact I've been tested twice with negative results. However, I've been dealing with food sensitivity and gastric issues for several years now and I am currently on an elimination diet. I have suspected fructose intolerance for a while now, considering the things that I know I cannot eat - legumes, fruits, juices, and corn...
