> My sister in law had very severe ibs and lost 30 pounds--no drug helped so she now follows very very strict diet for a couple of years and feels great, but eats no wheat, has all her food plain and broiled--I think it is diet folks with celric
------------------Sounds like she was convinced she had celiac. I looked into that too, trying an exclusion diet for the wheat gluten that's supposed to be the cause of the problem (celiacs are allergic to gluten), but it never helped me. Celiac usually manifests itself early in life (think infants), because it's basis is mostly genetic.
It's impossible to avoid all gluten, anyway, I found. It's in almost everything with flour, which doesn't leave much.
