I am well aware of the difference between lactose intolerance and IBS. I have both. So the little cheese I do eat is always lactose free so I don't trigger the lactose problem.
Things just don't seem to make much sense. The whole banana bread thing: I used heather's recipe, I've cooked with canola oil before (and I don't even remember if her recipe calls for it) without problem. Bananas are a bit safety food for me (properly ripe). So why couldn't I tolerate the bread! Weird. I've loved the two other breads I made and had no problems.
Does anyone else eat the Barilla plus pasta? It has extra protein and fiber than the regular pasta. It's made from chickpeas, lentils and egg whites, semolina, oats, spelt and barley,ground flaxseed and wheat fiber. Everything is ground - no "whole" listed. I've been eating it since I started the EFI diet 5 months ago.
I'm going to a new GI doc tomorrow and I'm really hoping he can give me some answers, and help with getting my meds straightened out.
I know everyone is trying to help, but if I keep cutting things out, I'll have nothing left to eat and no source of protein. I will not start eating meat again. It's just not something I can do. Regular white pasta and white bread and white rice have almost no protein (or fiber of any kind). I have not been able to work in many foods even at this point.
The calcium carbonate worked like a dream for 3 weeks and then it was over. Cramps and pain full blown just like before. 3 days later, it's calmed down a bit, but I didn't do anything. I hate how unpredictable IBS can be.
