Sometimes that works. Try eating less and see if the same reaction occurs. Also limit the...
  3. What other intolerances do you find you have when you have a sensitive intestinal track? I find now that I have trouble with almonds, sometimes chocolate (even if it is gluten free), carrots, potatoes of all kinds, and fructose and high fructose. Are these sensitivites somehow related - when you find you now have one - that others follow? What sources...
