Thank you so much!
I totally agree with you about the rice causing me Constipation! (even rice cakes and rice noodles) And yes, even brown rice based. Can you do brown rice? .And the beans being a big, big help! Do you eat them everyday...at least once? I love Whole Foods brand pureed on sweet potatoes! Hummus doesn't seem to have enough fiber as the 7 grams you get in 1/2 cup of lentils or baked beans.
When I went gluten free, substituting rice based products, that's when the C got really bad.

Me too!!! At least for the supplement. Does SF food have the same effect or just the supplements?

It sure is! How wonderful for you!
What are you going to go to school for? Good luck. You're doing great! And what impresses me is that you aren't shelling out tons of money for probiotics, digestive enzymes, fiber supplements, peppermint capsules, flax, and on and on! You take NOTHING, right? Not even a beano with your beans?
You go, girl. Keep in touch. You are giving me some hope....after years. You have found what works for you by taking risks and doing your own thing and listening to your body. I thought there would be no way to get better without an SF supplement.
Quote: . Sometimes it took 2 days to take effect and give me an attack. Be patient and write down things that work for you and that don't. Trader Joes is the place to start for dairy free foods, if you have that store near by.
If it took 2 days, how did you narrow it down to a specific food? What do you buy at Trader Joe's? PS. I'm impressed you can do whole wheat breads and cereals! Don't you wish you do cottage cheese and yogurts?
Oh, one more thing, do you eat any other carbs other than potatoes? or do you eat these every day? How about quinoa or something else,like pasta?
Take your time in answering all this. I know it's overwhelming!
