In an effort to ease my bloating and stomach spasms I reduced all wheat products as much as possible. The gas, bloating, and spasms subsided and I thought I found my problem. I have been doing fine since I reduced the wheat consumption. Recently my symptoms began to re-appear and I thought my wheat theory was wrong. I found that while trying to expand the wheat and gluten free products I was also re-introducing fructose.
Some time ago I found that fructose was another reason for my discomfort and I eliminated everything that contained it. It is amazing how many products contain fructose, probably because it is cheaper and easier to incorporate that sugar.
If you are having similar problems I suggest you try to eliminate fructose and wheat and see if you feel any better. Also, take the time to read the labels, the ingredients may surprise you.
