[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 579497, member: 1233"] The various diets have not lasted years. The docs keep you on them for six to twelve weeks, and then add foods into them slowly/carefully, and you keep detailed records the entire time. Even when I did a few of the things like girlfriend/cf and yeast diets, using medical guides but no doctor involved, I kept detailed records and after six weeks I went slowly back to a more normal diet. The only nutrient issues in medical texts are borderline anemia (just like all the females on Mom's side) and super low Vit D, which they now think I cannot tolerate because my body has no idea what to do with it, which is pretty scary all by itself. The docs do not think vit D can cause these symptoms. I have done all organic and found zero improvement. I do think something is really wrong, and it may not be IBS, but have had multiple gastros do multiple rounds of testing and they have no clue. This is why I am not sure about the IBS diagnosis, it is what they give you when they don't have any other diagnosis to toss at you. Sort of like fibro, according to about half the docs I have seen. Homemade, organic chicken broth tastes great, but my body doesn't like it any more than anything else. I am truly not trying to be difficult or say "it won't work" and ignore it, I have done alll of these things. Most mroe than once. Well, the elim diets over years, the organic broth I did off and on for several months betw now and last Sept, the entirely organic happened twice in the last five years. I am so sick of this. My mom has given every suggestion she can think of, and I think Lisa is right, something else is causing it. I don't know ANYONE who has tried all that I have and not had ANY positive results.
