I was like you about one year ago until I found Heather's diet. Thanks to it, my symptoms are under control 95% of the time ( PMS gives me a little problem, but I can manage). You have to be discipline with it to get out of your situation. My first advice to you is to avoid wheat and try rice and its products first. I noticed a huge change and I am not allergic to the grain. Rice is the safest grain around. I was on bread and water and with pain until I try the rice.
