What is WD?

I see references to "WD" in many of the posts. What does that stand for? Thanks for the information.

I am a follower of the FODMAP diet, with modifications for my MRT restrictions. I manage fairly well as long as I can get to my supplies. I got sick in 2009, diagnosed as fructose intolerant and kept finding more and more items I needed to do without. I visit this forum every few months. My last visit led to the limitation of black pepper, which brought some easing of nighttime spasms.

This is a very impressive group, lots of help and caring.

Good for you, making the diet changes and getting your life back.

WD= watery diarrhoea

Take care

I gave up all spices last Oct. when the D began. Being a diabetic I don't use salt so have always peppered everything. No more for me!

I'm happy you didn't know what it means... Hopefully it means you've not experienced it! It's a whole-lotta no fun.

Ah yes, thank you. Now I will know.

WD has not been a problem for me (yet).

I have other GI problems that are under control but which are very limiting in terms of choices. I consider myself to be in a much better place than I was 5 years ago with the GI symptoms, largely because of the kindness of folks in online communities such as this.
