Hello Colleen
Thank you for the links and the feedback. I have tried the Fodmap diet. It is difficult for me to do long term being a vegetarian and trying to go vegan. Some of the foods that I love ( broccoli, beans, chickpeas) I am supposed to avoid. I am trying CBT to reduce stress and anxiety and I do see a therapist. I have now completely cut out decaf coffee and have stopped drinking beer or wine ( I only drank a couple of beers or a couple of glasses of wine with my wife once or twice a week anyway).
Thank you!
RR
