Quote: I was wondering how many of you are also eating a gluten free diet along with the IBS diet? I do. It takes a little planning but is VERY do-able. I am thinking about trying this myself after getting barely any help from doctors. Abby honey, did you see my last response to your post. Please, if you can, get yourself tested for Celiac Disease. You have the classic symptoms of gluten intolerance. But the true test is how you feel going gluten free. I know that I have seen a few of you that are so I was wondering if I could get your email addresses and we could help eachother out! Thanks! You can email me any time. My address is in my profile. In the meantime, go to Celiac.com and sign up for their message boards and start reading. The people there are as nice and helpful as here.
You are so smart going GF, but don't wait! There are so many other good tasting options to wheat, barley, rye. Where it gets tricky is the food additives and cosmetics and cross-contamination, but all that will come with time. Kandee
