I suffered with that, but was eventually cured. I could not tolerate fructose, corn syrup, dairy. Briefly what that is, your gut develops holes that allow the foods you eat to leak into your blood stream. The foods you eat at that time then become an allergen to your body. That is why some people can tolerate some foods & others cannot. It depends on what YOU eat at that time. Once you heal the holes in your gut, your food intolerances should clear up. If your gut is inflamed, high fiber foods(even though they are healthy for you) like whole grains, raw fruits & veggies will irritate you & cause you stomach distress. Just like rubbing sand paper on a wound. You need to heal any injuries in your gut before you can get better. After 1 year of treatment, I can eat all real foods. I still cannot tolerate artifical sugars(nutra sweet, sucralose, etc), but those aren't really recognized by the body as food anyway. People who take regular doses of antibiotics(to treat acne)or anti- inflammatory drugs(I took Advil for carpal tunnel) or contract parasites from foods(traveling abroad), tend to develop LGS. There is a permeability test available (Great Smokies Lab) that can test for the amount of leakage. Most traditional doctors are clueless about this syndrome. They will try to categorize you as having IBS because there is no other explanation. One doctor told me it was all in my head. No, it was all caused by the unhealthy condition of my GI tract.
