@graceandpeace Multiple diets are sooo difficult, really. I'm juggling chronic kidney disease, diabetes and IBSd diets with a couple more low-level problems. Sourdough bread is excellent; since I'm counting carbs, I, too, found a white bread (Italian) that seems to work. With the diabetes, I've given up flour: pasta, bread, cookies, rolls, stuffing, bread crumbs, crackers, etc., and I keep my bread portions to an absolute minimum, like less than 30 carbs. Don't know if that's what has helped or not. Still have the usual foods that set off the diarrhea, like all of the cabbage family and acidic products - citrus, vinegar. Gave up salads for years, and only this year discovered it wasn't the salad, it was the dressings, almost all of which contain vinegar! Who knew. My only real suggestion is that I find I can tolerate very small servings of no-no foods - a half cup or less. Makes preparing the family dinner a real challenge! And I am a firm believer in "quality of life." Unless there is a compelling reason not to, I CHEAT!

@trishanna I am so sorry you have had to suffer with so many different health issues; I'm sure it has been an uphill battle! I'm glad you have been able to find some things that work for you. I understand about eating the "no no foods" as long as it is in very small amounts and not an every day thing; I have found the same to be true for me as well! I hope you are able to continue to learn and heal in the weeks and year's to come!
