CHOs: Complex carbohydrates may not get well digested. Can try beano product to help digest those . Avoid sugarless gum, candy, carbonated beverages gluten issues would occur with white bread too. Celiac sptue possible but unlikely. Bring diet diary and talk with doctor. Maybe some testing, or not.
