when I mentioned that I had some food intolerances in addition to IBS restrictions, he suggested testing

What kind of testing? And by whom? I've very curious about testing. I'm eating "safe" foods too, but still hurting.

Hi Jordy - The testing he suggested (and what I did) was a skin-prick test for food allergies. It was just like the testing for environmental allergies only they test for various food allergies instead of pollen, mold, dustmites, etc. It didn't take long, though it is costly (depending on your insurance, they'll likely cover it). It was SO worth it. I would have saved myself several years of frustration and pain if I'd done this sooner - it just never occurred to me that it could be allergies.
