Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

well, you know i'm a big proponent of the theory that we all have different bodies and metabolisms and that all kinds of things can go on!

just one thought that may help (or may not be applicable at all) have you been checked for Candida? i have very little understanding of it, but the basics are that some people are really sensitive to yeasts. there are tons of websites out there- you should check into it. from a quick glance at just one website i see that symptoms can include (among many others) GI problems and one of the aggrevating factors (among others) is sugar. definitely worth checking out, especially since you're pointing this correlation out on your own and your IBS is so stubborn and your other tests have been "clear."

i would do lots of research about this--- i think it may be one of those things that some tests show and some don't or the tests can be inconclusive. also, i don't know if this is one of those things that all doctors "believe in" or not?

anyway, please keep me posted!

oh, duh- here's the site i peeked at: yeastie info.
