i decided to cut out gluten from my diet. since i cut it out my intestines have gone into a spastic state and i feel very bloated and am more C than usual and its putting pressure on my bladder and making me very uncomfortable all around
I experience the same thing...so what are we to do? My doctor told me that gluten free diets can be very constipating depending on how much "substituted" rice products you use in place of foods containing gluten.
What are you gonna do...diet wise? This is so very confusing, isn't it. 
Did you get your test results back yet?

How were you worse? More C or more D? Why did you go GF to begin with? Just asking as I am experiencing this same situation.
So glad you had the courage to return to gluten products so that you feel better!

Wouldn't fruits and veggies be good natural fiber, as well? If your colon is in disarray, I can see that some of them may bother your gut. But, once you heal your gut, you will probably be able to better tolerate them. Was that way for me, anyway. I try not to eat corn/corn products as it is commonly contaminated with mycotoxins(fungal poisons) which have shown to contribute to many health problems.

Hi Kim, so do you cut out dairy as well as gluten and follow the EFI diet?

Actually, I don't follow any "diet" other than try to limit grains, including wheat, corn, try to stay away from all yeast products, limit my dairy (very little milk, but use half and half with coffee, also yogurt bothers me), and eat "lots" of veggies but try to limit potatoes and never corn (a grain). Fruits I eat are mostly berries (high in antioxidants and good for what ails ya), but eat others as well, and eat all meats/fish/poultry. You really have to try and find what works best for "you". Everyone is different. But I do know that fungal toxins are commonly found in all grains, and high carbs/sugar contribute to my ill health, so I do try to limit those.

Thanks for your reply Kim. I found it very interesting as your diet sounds like the one that seems to work for me. I've cut out wheat and try not to have a "carb heavy" diet and i minimise dairy but don't cut it out. For example, i'll have milk in my tea and a bar of chocolate without any problems. I just worry that maybe i should be cutting out dairy and everything else this site advises. I've been trying to up my calcium levels by eating more dairy yoghurt because everyone says that it's the best source of calcium but it's making me sick and constipated. It's good to know that someone else out there has found a diet similar to mine that works for them. Thanks again x
