Oh bless you, I can imagine it is a diagnosis that is difficult to hear with the impact it will no doubt have on your life (and the symptoms likely would have done that for some time). I am glad however that you do know what the issue is and you do have a diagnosis as sometimes not knowing what is going on is so much worse.
I know its not the same at all, but I'd been palmed off with IBS-C for years until I saw a private consultant and had a number of tests including a flexible sigmoidoscopy with biopsies to check for things like coeliac and cancer and finally had a SEH-CAT scan which diagnosed bile salt malabsorption. I also was diagnosed with mild lactose intolerance too. Went from having to spend hours in the bathroom every day to popping 3 huge tablets at breakfast and maintaining normal bowel habits for the first time in absolute years. That took about 4 months of diagnostic tests going privately. I hope you are able to find a lifestyle which works for you both in terms of your diet and social life
I just can't see how it's not just an intolerance on the basis of her lack of comment on symptoms. Christ, we know the exact day she starts her period every
*edit - spelling*
. Someone has asked outright in the comments whether she's coeliac or intolerant so will be interested to see if she responds.
Bloody been in bed all day with family looking after Macie & having to postpone her Live which is tomorrow.
