I as well as my daughter are non celiac gluten intolerant. She buckles over in pain upon ingestion of the smallest partial. I don't get intestinal issues. I get very moody and cry easily the next day. My daughters room mate is the same as me. I believe I have SIBO and there is no cure. I also react to gluten cross reactive foods such as chocolate, coffee, sesame, dairy corn and soy as well as all the other grains. I have tried GAPS, SCD, FODMAPS etc. one diet that did help at my worst was the blood type diet but a low carb version. It was a key point in foods I was reacting to and I naturally gravitated to a lot of the foods that are good for me and already knew many of the ones I was sto avoid. Broth whitch is highly recommended to heal the gut becomes MSG which I don't tolerate at all. I don't eat any grains or starch sugar etc due to diabetes. No dairy due to inflammation, limit nightshades due to inflammation, I found myself eliminating everything but lettuce and salad greens. I don't do that anymore. I need to live. I know small quantities of some foods I tolerate ok and will eat them occasionally. One caution on fermented foods is if you have SIBO they can be a nightmare. Probiotics, prebiotics and fermented foods will exasperate SIBO. Corn and all its derivatives are worse for me than gluten. So I eat neither.  I don't eat soy ever. I am very careful with non GMO foods and most of my veggies are organic, fish is wild Alaskan, poultry is organic or at least hormone and antibiotic free. I. I no longer get stomach pain and bloating is so much less than it was. I sure there is something with heavy metals but I don't want to know. It is very hard to chelate and very uncomfortable. I spent years being afraid to put anything in my mouth. I refuse to live that way now. There is no perfect food and that stress will kill me faster than anything. I basically eat the same meals that I know work with some occasional add ins. I just don't eat them everyday. Except coffee. I know I react and I know it's not good for me but it is a simple pleasure. I react to so much and have eliminated so much I need a few simple pleasures. One can only eliminate so much and with SIBO there is no cure other than massive rounds of antibiotics. I'm not going there. In the end there is something wrong with any food. Diabetes and a diabetic diet is enough to contend with. I just do the best I can when I can. I can eat the same things everyday and get a different reaction. I'm tired of trying to figure it all out.</blockquote>
