Yeah, I think at this point I can safely say that the multi-vitamin I was taking was not helping. I found out that it has inositol in it, which I think I have issues with. I was mildly suspicious of my probiotic because it has caramel color in it, so I switched to one with far fewer inactive ingredients. I think this one is doing better for me. What...

Thank you so much! What a lot of great information. We used non-iodized salt in our house because my husband has thyroid disease and meniere's (sp?) disease. I definitely have an issue with corn syrup...maybe all corn. My gastro. told me to avoid all corn products when he diagnosed me with fructose malabsorption. I will have to do some research...

I do share a home with a gluten eater - my husband. I haven't replaced any of our dishes, although one of them blew up in the oven yesterday, so that's the end of that one. I don't have any wooden spoons - have been just using metal and glass cookware. I haven't used a toaster or a colander in at least 3 or 4 months. I do use the BBQ a lot but my...

I am feeling so frustrated! I'm on month 5 of fructose free. I'm on day 45 of gluten free (I do not have celiac disease...just wondering if I'm sensitive to it) and around day 60 of dairy free. How is it that I am still so sick that I'm having symptoms every day?!?! Two weeks ago I accidentally got into the tiniest bit of corn syrup and...

I'm new here but have a random thought. Have you been tested for Fructose Malabsorption? I have FM and have issues with things containing brown rice (like your Rice Dream). I also have issues with corn (maltodextrin). And, although I'm not sure, I think water Kefir also has fructose. Open Original Shared Link Not sure how reputable that link is...

I know. I never was a fan of tomatoes themselves, but I sure loved LOTS of things they're in. Like salsa and ketchup. Oh, and the fantastic fajitas that this nearby little hole in the wall Mexican place makes. Food that good should be illegal. Unluckily for me, now, it may as well be. I miss Chinese food, too. I guess I can still eat rice...

ADD....got it. Good to know. I do tend to babble. I'll see if I can keep this one a bit shorter. Yes, I've been tested for celiac. Negative. I'm not lactose intolerant - was just tested 2 months ago. For some reason cheese and milk tend to make me very sick, very fast. I do fine with butter. FructMal is my shorthand term for Fructose Malabsorption...

Hello! I have been lurking and reading here for quite some time but finally decided to join. I have been suffering from digestive issues for 15 years. I've seen lots of specialists, took lots of medications, and never found a single "cause". However, this year has been an eye opener for me. I kept having these weird bouts of horrible stomach...
