I've recently discovered that dairy products cause me to have post nasal drip and sinus problems, along with stomach cramping, bloating, etc. I've also tested positive to wheat, corn, and refined sugar (of all things!) during challenges after an elimination diet. My symptoms for the other foods range from severe GI problems, to palpitations, to joint pain, to neurological impairment. I've since dropped the offending foods from my diet.

I'm pretty new into this (only about 3 weeks) but already feel better. I no longer need to take PPIs for my reflux. My sinus issues have improved, but not entirely cleared up (think I have seasonal allergies as well). I suspect other food intolerances and am currently working on figuring them out to resolve additional health issues. I eat very few processed products, sticking mostly with rice, veggies, fruits, nuts and seeds, and lean meats. The only processed foods I eat are rice milk and the occasional serving of brown rice pasta.

I'm also taking a slew of supplements, as I have quite a few nutritional deficiencies, including iron, vit D and all the Bvits, but particularly B5, B12 and folate. I'm also low in copper, magnesium and calcium. I've had more energy the past week and am taking this as a sign that I'm finally absorbing more of the supplements I've been taking and that my gut is starting to heal.

Hope this helps!
