Thank you Pabb and Dar.
Mrs. D...I stopped drinking apple juice years ago...some bloating w/ it...cabbage as well.

I'm getting concerned that I'm reducing my list of foods to eat...however...not eating sweets/junk would be a GREAT thing...I'm thinking of it as a message from above.

The odd thing is that I've had minor issues w/ these things before and all of a sudden...it's over the top. It seems dairy and sugar are the big culprits.

I've gotten improvement with a priobotic tablet, a large dosage simethicone tablet and beano.

I see the gastro person in 3 weeks for the "procedure" -YIKES-and will talk with her some more about these things.

Don't know much about casein...will look into it...
it "feel" like an allergic reaction...this is for sure.
