Syl, how did you find out about your fructose malabsorption?
Here I go again...this is just another example of how many different things there are out there to consider. The more I try to figure things out the more confused I get. I follow the (Heather's)IBS diet and take the supplements but it makes very little difference and I'm always reading or hearing about new things that make me question everything I'm doing. Things like...
...even though you do not have celiac, and white bread is suggested as a stabilizer, you could still have an allergy to wheat or gluten (in which case you should avoid it)?
...soy is bad for you, especially men, and could be a trigger?
...tea (even though it's herbal and soothing peppermint) can be a stimulant/trigger?
This leaves me wondering if I even have IBS due to food intolerances or is it a digestive/enzyme issue. I don't have reactions to any supposed trigger foods, just multiple and urgent BM's every morning. I mentioned in a previous post that I wonder if getting a food allergy test would just give me an answer or maybe hypnotherapy but they both cost money. And then I see a thread about digestive enzymes and even though I've already talked to my GI about Habba Syndrome and gallbladder function and tried Questran (unsuccessfully) I wonder if I should be taking some?
