Anyone with IBS, Food intolerances or digestive disorders?

I had blood testing done (Igg) to test for food sensitivities which is different than allergies. Bad part, not recognized by insurance so you have to pay for it yourself, pretty pricey but so glad I did it. Had to remove at least 28 foods from my diet that caused me problems and most of them I was eating every single day. All good for you, healthy foods such as Asparagus, broccoli, lemons, all melons, all gourds, vanilla, both bakers and brewer's yeast, bananas, cauliflower, kale, peppers (all), pinieapple, giner, eggs (yolks and whites) carrots, cherries, apricots, white potatoes (no biggie), tomatoes and am gluten free. After removing these foods within 48 hours I felt amazing and my physicals clues cleared up, my lips stopped turning red, blistery, burning, etc. I have been able to lose 15 lbs, sleep better, poop everyday, etc. I am under the care of a dr. too. I would never have know to remove all these foods. Good luck with getting everything under control.

I had an intolerance to milk for about a month due to a stomach virus that I got. Now I know what people go through with this type of condition. It sucks! I couldn't eat or drink anything with lactose/lactate, whey, casein, or any other milk protein. Luckily mine was temporary (it could have become permanent) and I've just recently been able to eat milk products in smaller amounts again. There is so many hidden milk proteins in foods that you'd never suspect, like lunch meat and some of my Rx meds. Who knew?

Those of you who have to deal with this for the rest of your lives have my utmost sympathies. I've walked a mile in your shoes and don't want to do it again, EVER!

Losing whey and casein and greek yogurt as a staple snack and post workout protein source was my biggest obstacle. I have to rely on egg whites, so I am constantly cooking. Ugh. I miss my protein shakes.

Yep, I've finally had to come to the realization that even whey doesn't do my tummy good. I have zero dairy in my diet (sometimes even almond milk makes my stomach hurt). I really watch my calcium, and if I'm really low I take a woman's multi-vitamin. I eat soy cheese, although there is a coconut cheese out right now that I can't wait to try. No more protein shakes for me, so I eat hemp hearts and chia seeds. It's a pain keeping your macros in order when you've cut out an entire food group, but being able to eat without having digestive issues is nice. I also have a huge intolerance to coffee and most caffeine, man does that suck on a Monday morning, but I drink tea like it's going out of style. If you need any help with recipes and ideas, feel free to add me, I cook daily.

How does caffiene affect you? Just curious...

Same way dairy does...severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea. I have tried everything, and caffeine just doesn't sit well. No more skinny lattes from Starbucks, that was the hardest thing lol I've tried diluting coffee, different kinds of caffeinated teas, nope, still get the poops. (FYI, steak does this to me as well, i can have 1 bite of steak, but after that it's hell)
