Thank you for that great response. I to have been trying to follow Heather's diet and find that at times I seem to have problems even though I am doing the best I can to make the right choices.
I have found that it takes time and patience to find foods that are easy for you to digest and things that are healthy for you. I have found that trying to delete fats from my diet are helping and changing the way we prepare foods are great.
I do believe that each of us is different in that we need to use the suggestions here and try to adjust our personal diets accordingly. I find that getting better is something that I really want. I was like you a couple of years ago when I first found out I had IBS. Believe me I ate whatever I wanted and suffered through the IBS attacks and finally decided that I wanted to feel better and eat and that I had to do something to change it. That is when I came back here and went out and purchased Heather's book. It has taken a long time but I can now feel comfortable eating things but being very selective and very careful.
This is not like a minor illness or a broken leg, this does not yet have a cure. I hope for one very soon, but I am also aware that I may have to live the rest of my life with it, so I told myself just do it. Get on the diet and stop being sick all the time. I am sure that someday I will be stable and be able to eat other things, but I will be aware and able to help myself when I do have an attack.
I would say take all the advice you read here and try it for a month. Please let us know how you are doing. We really do care and totally understand.
