I gave up wheat after I pooped my pants without warning in the car- never again!
It really really helped. So far I have had attacks but not that bad. I have been wheat free for a year. I also can not eat raw veg or salads.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Hi Cheryl, thanks for sharing that. I am mostly off wheat except for white bread & not much of that & I am doing soooooooo much better. I am also off most dairy too although I do eat eggs & they don't seem to bother me.

Boy it's trial & error isn't it? I'm glad I found something that is working for me. I'm getting tired of the same foods though, will need to experiment a bit, one food at a time (but wheat & dairy free). I ate spinach (cooked) last night, it tasted so good & went down well.

Prune juice seems to be keeping me going. Glad I don't have to take anything else.

My suggestion is to add cooked veg slowly - a little at a time. I always eat corn and then not again for a week or so- same with other veg. Cooked asparagus, carrots, beans great. I do eat broccoli but a lot less frequently than before. I also eat only corn tortiallas not more than once a week. I eat tons of basmatti rice. I don't eat any wheat.
Cheers

How does the spinach and the corn work? Those are two of the foods the docs warned me against because they are supposed to be hard on the digestive tract. I too am sick of playing the same game everyday and eating pizza or chicken or fish every single night!

Hi again
Only cooked spinach and only cooked corn and not within several days of each other- and never during a flare up!
Asparagus has never given any trouble nor has avacado.

I am now in the middle of flare- due to stress and i ate a bit of salad- my bad!!!! ARGH!

I am so afraid to try any of that! (Minus the avocado- that sits well). Perhaps next weekend I will try to take one on. Thanks for the advice.
