Thanks Jordy, i missed you too! My hubbie blocked the site for a while because he thought it was making me worry too much but in fact the opposite is true. You guys provide me with so much support and encouragement and are the only people who understand where i'm coming from.
I went gluten free to begin with because my dietitian suggested i did it. This helped with my bloating but everything else was the same - constipation, nausea etc. So she suggested i give up dairy in addition and this seemed to work to a degree. However, i'm thinking that maybe wheat isn't a problem because i'm still bloated a lot of the time and the BMs aren't great (but nowhere near as bad as before i cut out the dairy). So, in light of this i'm thinking Heather's diet maybe the one for me. Just need to muster up the courage to eat wheat now!
Unfortunately, after my first day celebration i back-slided and had a cup of coffee in the morning two days in a row. Hasn't caused any pain or bloating (no more than usual at least) but not sure yet if it's effected the BMs. I'm so weak when it comes to coffee!!! Seriously, how do you follow the diet to the book??? This i am in awe of! Have your symptoms not cleared up at all on the diet?
