<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi list mates. It's whine time for me! I'm rather frustrated to learn that even though I have been GFCF for six months my gut problems seem to be escalating steadily. Before I went GFCF my discomfort was focused on my upper GI. As soon as I went GFCF, my gastric pain disappeared. However, since going GFCF & getting into GF baking & such, my problems are mostly lower GI. I've just about come to the depressing conclusion that I have no business eating breads, beans, crackers, potatoes, etc. at all. The more starchy foods I eat the more GI upset I experience. I suppose the problem now is yeast overgrowth even though I use probiotics every day. Yesterday I was so sick at work, I was barely functioning and only narrowly escaped what could have been a MAJOR embarrassing incident. [I'll spare you the graphic details. Use your imagination!] In order to continue my part time job as a nurse, I've decided I need to take drastic measures to get well -- the specific carbohydrate diet or perhaps the paleo diet minus all dairy. That leaves me so few food choices I can't imagine how I'm going to prepare meals for a family of 4 with 3 men to feed, two of whom are GFCF as well. Any ideas & encouragement out there? I'm pretty bummed out right now. ~Valerie in Tacoma, WA
