Reply to "Kock pouch/BCIR"

Hi dz20, I started seeing a naturopath about 4 years ago and she put me on a gluten-free diet (she actually put me on the Blood Type Diet, and being a blood type O, I had to give up gluten). I noticed after eating this way that I have almost no gas and the output in general is more stable. I still eat carbs like rice and sweet potatoes, etc. and they don't cause me any gas (there are some pretty good rice pastas out there!) I tried some new foods like quinoa and sorghum, and even thought they're gluten-free, they caused me to have gas, so I avoid them or eat them when the gas issue won't be a big deal. Even though the K-pouch won't make the noise of an end ile, I don't want gas because the only way to get it out is to put the tube in. Lately I've been learning more about gut health and how gas is the byproduct of food that's not being fully digested and is fermenting in there and feeding the bad bacteria. I also take probiotics and lately added enzymes to help to digest the food better. You might try reading about leaky gut and experiment with foods to see which ones are causing gas. The good thing about the K-pouch is that gas just sounds like your stomach gurgled.
Good luck!
