Hi FrecklFluf--I don't know if this will help at all, but I can tell you of my personal experience in this area. Several years ago, I had my gallbladder removed, and had the same problem as your husband. Couldn't eat out anywhere--too scared that I wouldn't make it home. I talked to my doctor at the time, and he suggested (like clkeifer) that it might be an allergic reaction. He suggested that I always avoid any "bar" foods--salad bars, hot food bars, etc., on the idea that foods that are left sitting for extended periods of time are bacteria traps. Never thought of that before, but it made sense. That helped some, but mostly we just learned to eat at a restaurant very close to home, if we ate out at all. When I first started on CAD I didn't notice an improvement right away, but over time things have gotten much better. A while after starting to lc--I decided to cut out all sugar and white flour--and I haven't had a problem since then at all!!! I can't tell you for sure what made the change--but I do know that I usually only eat twice a day now, and I never have any problems anymore. I can't swear that the flour/sugar thing "cured" me, but I really think that this was the answer for me. Even if your husband isn't interested in trying CAD, I wonder if he would see improvement if he just tried using only AS (I use only Splenda or Stevia-with NO problem at all) and eliminating the bread--maybe only having an occasional slice of high fiber bread or lc tortilla? I try to have a full serving of protein and raw veggies at each meal, as well-and feel better than I ever have in my entire life. No more of the intestinal problems that ruled my life for so many years. Just trying to throw out some ideas for you... Hope that he is able to find a way to get some relief from the problem...
