I wanted to add to the IBS issue...have either of you tried eating probiotic foods regularly? (saurkraut, kimchi, raw pickles, etc?) I have known quite a few people with IBS symptoms that disappeared after they started eating foods like this every day. You can buy pill bottle probiotics and get probiotics in liquids like Kombucha but neither seems to work as miraculously. Give it a try!

Thank you for commenting. Yes to all those foods. I make my own kraut and Kombucha. I gave up eating all grains, white potato and rice, 5 years ago. this strategy control sugars and starches which starves out "bad" bacteria so that the "good" bacteria can gain a strong foothold in the G/I tract. I also ingest "human strain" probiotics everyday. The source is cultured from other healthy humans and manufactured in a lab. They are sold in better health food stores and you will usually find them in the refrigerated section. Most probiotics sold commercially are from cow or goat sources. It makes sense to me to colonize my gut with healthy bacteria from the same species.
