Hello,

I have recently been diagnosed with IBS. I have had testing for Chrones and Coeliac's but I am currently on a gluten free diet.

I am still trying to work out what affects me - peanuts are a complete no no and tomatoes (which is a problem because I love bolognese).

I am going for allergy testing for dairy soon - I really hope it's not that!!

Is it common for a person with IBS to be on a gluten free diet? All this change is stressing me out a bit, which doesn't help the IBS!

I would be grateful for any tips to help me with this new lifestyle change, thank you.

    The latest is that it isn't a gluten intolerance that is the issue with non-celiac sufferers but WHEAT intolerance. It's the genetically modified strain of modern wheat that was changed I think maybe 60 years ago from ancient wheat which was tall. Now in order to produce wheat with less disease and faster growth period, it is a short wheat and more cost efficient wheat. If you can find rye and other grains without added wheat, try that.

    ..also recommended reading (from your library if it isn't on a w/l)....Wheat Belly which explains it all. It's a best seller and if you read it, you will see why.
