Just found out I have food allergies.........

I was just told I have more food allergies. Wheat is negative, cashew nuts is borderline, oats is borderline and barley is POSITIVE. It all makes sense, when I have been told I have IBS for years. I have eliminated everything except wheat flour. I am so overwhelmed. I guess I could follow a gluten-free diet, but worry about not getting enough fiber.

Fruit and Veggies should give you all the fibre you need.

Wheat will spike your blood sugar, and eating a lot of wheat-based products could damage your heart, and make you fat. Your best solution would be to concentrate on non-starchy carbohydrates; vegetable sources will also ensure high fiber intake.
