Reply to A. Alexander, MD's Post: well i have no idea. I was given a strict diet. No smoking, alcohol, red meat, coffee, tea...etc I was just left with plain rice and chicken really. My stomach is very active, always feels a bit bloated and I get alot of wind particularly in the mornings. Generally food comes out quite quickly as liquid and when I eat i usually get hot..which puts me off the food. I had a blood test and that was ok.
