This is really addressed to both Saucy and Lelia. Just wanted to put my 2 cents worth in the discussion. I have the same problem and the same frustrations! Not much help on diet advice from docs or dieticians or nutritionists. The things with seeds like tomatoes and cucumber can be eaten if they are peeled and seeded. I am also going by Gundry's Plant Paradox diet, and felt better within 48 hours after making the change! I know it is still controversial, but it has sure helped me. My use of meds for gut problems, both prescription and over the counter, has dropped by about 75%.
I don't agree with everything Gundry recommends, but I my diet is about 90% what he recommends. I still cannot do garlic or onions, or raw dark leafy greens, but everything else is going quite well.

Well, I can attest to that. 11 years and no medical provider has ever brought it up, which actually amazes me. This is the GI system! How can diet not be important? I think we're on our own!
Seems to me your approach is probably best for most of us. You have to research, and then take what works for you. It might not be everything that one source suggests, but maybe they offer something. Write now I'm completely lost, and almost afraid to eat because I don't know if it is going to make me better, worse, or not matter, I had such high hopes about Mayo, maybe I heard them wrong, but my impression was that I was going to see a special GI dietician who would guide me through this maze.
I really appreciate that there are people like you and the others here who are willing to share their experiences, at least it is somewhere to start!

Yes, his book helped me a lot and I can't eat any wheat products oatmeal, potatoes ect. The book Fast Tract Digestion, Heartburn also wqs a big help explaining how these foods react and cause problems, there also is one for IBS. I also found a glass wine after dinner also helps my digestion!!
