I'm sorry...I'm trying to make sense of all of this since I never really analyzed my diet in this direction before. My only problematic symtom currently is gas. On occassion I think it might be b/c I have not had a bm that day but for the most part I am "regular." I'm suspecting WW products too but it is so hard to tell b/c the gas comes at such varying times. Two days ago for example I had a turkey burger (made myself) with some onions in it. No surprise that the next day I had major gas but then the irony is that after I ate dinner which was Chinese food...white rice and steamed chicken with veggies (mostly very soft broccoli), the gas went away! And no gas today either as a residual! What do you make of that??
I did not have any fruit yesterday but today I had whole grain cereal and two slices of cantaloupe (not at the same time) and I only had minimal gas this afternoon. Wouldn't more be expected? I have eaten applesauce with and without HFCS without a problem (unless it's possible that it came more that 24 hours later)but I could eat a skinless apple or a bite of peanut butter and have gas almost immediately. Any light anyone could shed would be appreciated. I am so frustrated that perhaps I am looking toward fructose and/or wheat/gluten b/c I want an answer to know what to eliminate when in reality maybe it is just the plain IBS being temperamental??? Also, does anyone get gassy from NOT EATING? I wonder too if that sometimes happens to me later afternoon when I have forgotten to have a snack?? Thanks.
