  1. Thanks, I should give that a try ("Ensure"). One thing that gets me about this it is just struck me at once; like some sort of infection that has never gone away. Was that the case with you? David
  2. YEAH! Need to find one with the Easter Bunny, pretty soon ;-) I think I'll try the rice tomorrow. I do eat a fair amount of dairy, particularly Breyer's French Vanilla ice cream. I hope it's not that; just got 4 cartons on sale at Albertson's!
  3. BTW Jestgar your avatar, is that Santa peeing off the chimney??? I love it! David
  4. Thanks for the suggestion about the IBS treatment center, I'll look into it.

  7. Thanks for the reply. I've always been a fairly avid label reader, and not one to eat a lot of processed foods to begin with, and have eliminated all gluten, including all the more obscure label ingredients like "modified food starch", "texturized vegetable protein", starch, maltodextrin, "hydrolyzed vegetable protein", etc. Since my wife left I live alone...
  8. I am a 51 year old male. Although my general health has not been good since my early 20's (I was diagnosed with "fibromyalgia" when I was 25, even though I have no tender points, but I typically just feel achy and lousy all the time), I have never really had any chronic GI troubles until recently.
