What can I eat?!!

4 posts in this topic

I have IBS-D, lactose intolerance, histamine intolerance and mild fructose intolerance. Seeing as gluten is not recommended for ibs and there are so many foods that contain fodmaps but low histamine and vice versa i am at a loss for what to eat. It’s hard to find recipes with all these dietary restrictions. Can someone please help me out here?

Sounds like if you put some work into fixing your gut, these would go aways and you could start eating everything again. 

Have you had any diagnostic tests? Stool tests, blood tests etc? Was the IBS medically diagnosed?

Yes I did stool test everything fine, and yes it was diagnosed after doing the food intolerance tests.

Gotcha, any other tests? 

I think it would be beneficial to ask for SIBO assessment, a medical test called "jejunal aspirate" is the gold standard for diagnosis. . If your doctor doesn't want to do it there is a private tests called "hydrogen-methane" tests you can do. Make sure you take the 3 hour, 90-minute is not enough,. 

Basically this will confirm or exclude what else is going on and make treatment easier. If it it SIBO, that's treatable and even if not, most gut ailments can be dealt with. 

Good luck! Let me know how you get on.
