Hi Princess, yep, IBS & celiac disease are very different health damage wise, although majority of the people with celiacia are initially misdiagnosed as having IBS (I had symptoms for at least 12 years, severe for at least 5 years before the diagnosis). However, the symptoms are very similar so I can completely appreciate how debilitating IBS makes you feel.
What are you eating, if you don't mind me asking? Considering that you were fine during TFR I assume your IBS is not stress related, so perhaps there are some specific foods that are causing you these issues. Are you having any sugar? That seemed to have been a huge issue for me (naturally on top of gluten).
Also, just wondering, have you ever had a test for celiac disease? If not, ask you GP - it's initially just a blood test (but you have to be eating wheat/gluten for a while to be able to have the test - otherwise it shows false negative). It's always worth ruling things out.....
The reason why I've asked whether anyone with celiac disease was on this diet is because Lipotrim says that the food packs are gluten free, which I find quite odd, as all of them contain maltodextrin (in Europe it is predominantly derived from wheat), and flapjacks have oats that a large proportion of people with celiacia can't tolerate. I've also had my stomach bloated (I don't normally get it since gluten free diet) all the time, which either means I'm 'glutened' or it's caused by milk (I haven't drunk milk for over 10 years). I don't feel tired, like I constantly did before I went on gluten free diet, so am slightly confused why I have some symptoms but not others......and was wondering whether anyone with the same condition experienced anything similar....
Ok, Princess
I hope you manage to find what's causing your IBS symptoms and that you can enjoy your new slim body without constant pain and lethargy.
Take care xoxo
