@kariulrich, thanks for the info. I haven't seen that fodmap site before, but it looks good. It is so overwhelming. They need to make an app where you can scan the item and it lets you know if you can eat it or not. It is difficult to look at every ingredient. As for the article, haven't seen that one. I am always looking for newer articles for treatments, but for other info I don't think it matters so thanks. I will be reading that next. Well I am happy that the calcium blocker is helping for you. My last vascular surgeon said she didn't think any of my pain, or symptoms was from the arteries since they were patent, and that was that. It seems you have a good vascular dr. that helps you with options. Hopefully this new one will for me. I don't want more meds and tests, but I would like some relief. Especially the exhaustion, but maybe that is from all the back and forth for testing and appointments....haha....Well thanks again. YOu always have helpful info!!! I will let you know what happens at my appt.....

One last thing before I go to bed! I have asked my Doctors for a testing holiday, I asked for a month off of all the testing so that I could catch my breath. They were good about obliging me. Also, not to add to your confusion, all my vascular testing (Non-invasive) came back normal. Grrrrr It was the invasive cath angiogram that showed the severe stenosis. I have heard that Ultrasound does not show stenosis unless it is at least 75-80 percent occluded... maybe someone could clarify that? Anyways, hang in there! Chat with ya soon!
