Just wanted to give an update, since it's been a while, and maybe this can help someone else stay positive. I FINALLY started feeling better in October! It took over 3 months to have ONE good day, and slowly, I realized that i wasn't taking pepto or immodium several times a day, and I'm not always in excruciating pain in the morning. I am definitely not...

I'm still trying to hang in there with all of this. Just wanted to see if anyone had worse symptoms I'm the morning. As soon as I wake up, I feel ok for like 2 minutes, then the gas and bloating and pain start. Then I have to use the bathroom. My stool is never normal (it always looks "fuzzy" and breaks aoart easily...sorry for tmi). I do not eat anything...

I totally appreciate all the encouragement. I'm so glad I joined this forum. I'm sad that so any suffer from this but it's good to get advice from those who have experiences. I'm taking all your suggestions. We shall see what happens! Thank you again

I was on vacation but ended up just buying food from a store to make for myself. I can't figure it out. I had another really rough day today, and have only been eating whole foods and staying away from corn, soy, milk, etc. I'm so bummed. Has anyone else had this where you have a few "ok" days and then out of nowhere you're hit with a relapse of symptoms...

I use only squeezy bottles and have my own fridge. But the kitchen itself is for everyone. But yes, I'm extremely careful and all y items are marked and in a different section of the kitchen. I feel like I'm following all the rules. I just wish I would FEEL all the work I'm putting into it! Thanks everyone

This is going to be more difficult than I thought since I already feel like I'm super careful at home. :-(.

Thanks for the advice! Maybe I do just need more time. I will try your suggestions. As far as gluten-free household, my husband and I currently live with his italian parents who will not go gluten-free, but both he and I have separate cooking items and are careful. He's also very good with the kissing thing. Lol. But just my frustrations with the randomness...

What type of intestinal bacteria did you have? All my issues started with an unexplained occurrence of cdiff, which was treated and have since tested negative. As far as dairy, I've switched to lactaid and really try to avoid it.

I'm also struggling as a newbie, and your post is giving me some hope. I'm struggling, not with the food itself, as I enjoy my fruits, veggies, and clean meats, but with wondering why I'm not getting better after almost a month of my strict gluten free diet, and carefulness against cc. I'm not giving up, but I'm frustrated, (as I type this from a bed on my...

I'm new here, and didn't want to join a forum because I thought I was doing everything right and that I would feel better. But, alas, I'm on vacation, sitting in bed depressed while everyone is out on the beach. Im admitting to needing help. My story in a nutshell: I'm a 33 year old female, 110lbs. My while life I've had intermittent bouts of what I was...
