I am on the "no white foods" diet. It's like a nightmare. No potatoes, no rice, no white flour, no sugar, egg whites only, no cheese, no butter, no baked goods. It's tough. I can eat meat and fruit and veggies. I find myself wanting butter and potatoes and baked goods...and CHEESE.

@4meAndyou eat raw dairy - grass fed butter - cut out all seed oils you’ll be fine. Don’t believe all the crap about cholesterol . Eat an animal based diet and you’ll feel much better. The veggies don’t help and can in fact inflame many.

@Luckylu I was what they call pre diabetic. I am very familiar with the horrors of diabetes, because so many of my cousins have had it. One of my female cousins decided to die of gangrene in her foot, rather than have her foot amputated. I was so angry with her for blaming it on God...saying it was HIS will, when, in fact, it was HER will. But that's not important.

What it comes down to, and what IS important, is the choice. The choice between greed and stuffing ourselves with the things we love to eat, or CHOOSING to be tough and CHOOSING not to be sick.

@Cooperman I don't know about raw dairy. Yogurt and cheese are not included in the No White diet, but No White Diet sufferers can have milk. We are not allowed to have butter, but we can have olive oil.
Meat is definitely included on the diet, and I find that if I am making soups, I can put beans in the soup instead of rice or potatoes and that seems to help with the carb cravings...a little.

I went gluten free 6 years ago. Learned how to make different foods such as breads, pancakes, waffles and baked goods without wheat and other gluten ingredients

Having had my gallbladder out I avoid too much oil and grease in stuff these days.
Obviously for years alcohol fell in and beyond that category for me too.
There are so many foods I'm supposed to stay away from. But I find enjoying them in small quantities acceptable, especially when I take supplements which counter their effects.

With wheat, it's important I get enough digestive enzymes. They take care of my abdominal spasms better than anything any doctor has prescribed.

@PhoenixPhail please give more details on the digestive enzymes you mention.
I recently learned how Greek yogurt is different than regular, besides just the taste.
It has been helping me
@iamnikki I'm glad you're getting some help from the Greek yogurt.

Many years ago, I had a horrible bout of IBS. I was in terrible pain for 4 months. The doctors were useless. The probiotics they suggested didn't do a thing.

Someone from a health food store suggested digestive enzymes. After taking just 2 capsules, I was pain free in a day. I take Enzymedica Digest Gold with ATPro. You can find it on Amazon.

Good Luck.

I shouldn't eat wheat but I do sometimes.
I hate how my stomach grumbles and whines after eating it

I shouldn't eat sugar or drink alcohol, but once in a while I can't resist.

Try the Carnivore diet. Cured my colitis. Never go back to carbs now. Once you break the addiction it’s easy.

Oily and fried stuff

Anything fried, fatty, dairy, or spicy, my gall bladder was removed in 2002, any of those things will send me to a bathroom within seconds at times.

@NativePortlander1970 Mine was removed in 2019 so I completely understand. I had a seafood platter one night which I had not had in over 20 years and ended up in the bathroom before I left the restaurant.
@Luckylu I have lost track of how many times that has happened at restaurants, wipes and ziptop sandwish baggies are our friends, it also pays to know where every public access restroom is within a 50 mile radius.
