thx for your answer rosebud...i had already cut out nuts, seeds, corn, and even the fruits like berries because of the tiny seeds..but now i am so confused...i feel for you. so far i get alot of fiber and, unless i am having a real attack, fiber is supposed to be my best friend! like you say, all i can do is see what triggers my problems. i may add a few beans and lentils and cut abit of meat. i know, a few more carbs but maybe the extra fiber will subtract some carbs. good luck to you, i hope you dont need surgery.
