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
