PN is hard for other people to understand as it is. not to mention diet - my parents still don't understand fructose malabsorption well ( me and my 8yo dau and 6 yo son all have it). will bite the bullet and try gluten free again - just have to get my head around it and try for a good year. thanks again. tambo.

I have the fructose thing too. I did gluten free for 3 yrs, and it didn't work for me. I found the fructose thing after that. I think gluten free is easier than avoiding fructose. But that is just my opinion. I can have a small bit of fructose if it is hidden in some food. But stand alone consumption of fruit, apples/pears, or candy or fruit juices, will set me off quickly. Some salad dressings are high in sugar I've discovered. I use one now that is pretty low and it seems okay so far.
If you feel you can do dairy, I'd suggest Kefir to you. It seems to have really helped my GI issues of gas/bloating etc very well.
I use the unflavored plain one. Lifeway Kefir is gluten free and 99% lactose free. I have about 4 ounces daily now. It is very high in probiotic support.... 12 cultures with generous numbers.
