Hi,
I am new too. I am similar to April in that I am DFI and have been told I am gluten intolerant. I have tried adding in some fructose since my DX in June but I just don't tolerate it. I have been told else where that some with DFI have to eat like HFI. Right now this seems to be me. I also have microscopic colitis. So eating FF doesn't make the D go away, just the gas, gurgling, bloating, and some muscle aches. I am thankful for those going away, but I would just like for the D to go away also. I have done every medical test for the MC including capsule endoscopy and will see the Dr. later in Jan. for followup. It will probably be Prednisone that he will prescribe. I dread that, but if that is what it takes I will do it.
My question for you all is that in all the info I have read about DFI there are a lot of discrepancies. Some sites say wheat is ok, others not. Some say asparagus is ok some not. Some mention to stay away from fructans which apparently is in asparagus. You all do not seem to have a problem with wheat. I would think HFI would be worse than DFI in what one could tolerate. Are all different? I guess I finally got to the question. Sorry for rambling so.
There are some wonderful recipes on this site. BTW I am also casein and soy intolerant.
Thanks,
Pat
