I think he was just trying to make himself feel better. He probably has sky high colesteral and he probably just ate a big fat steak that was riddled with fat. Or maybe he has to promote the atkins diet cuz he is a relative of Dr. Atkins.
You know what is best for yourself. If he has any questions on the diet I am sure there are a few people on here that will give him a little knowledge on this diet.

Well, I had a colonoscopy last year and the doctor told me that I was fine but I had a lot of spasms. He could see(?) them, which I thought was interesting. The IBS diet is great and Fennel tea is my savior...can't live without it!!!

Thanks for all your advice and understanding. It is nice being to "speak" with people who understand. I love this diet and cannot imagine just eating red meat, yuck!!!!!
My mom is a diabetic and her specialist told her this week to forget artificial sweetners, he told her he would prefer she not eat anything sweet or small amounts of natural sugar. He is disgusted with the whole high protein diet. I think it is disgusting and I agree that it is not healthy. Even if I wanted to do it and gut would not allow it.
Thanks again.

We really have to be our own best judge when it comes to diet. Friends have told me for years that white bread and anything white will make you fat. Even my mother would tell me to stay away from white bread. I did what my body told me. White foods such as white bread, rice and pasta have been the best things for me.

The adkins diet kind of scares me. I just have to wonder how many people who are on that diet will end up with IBS. I would think it could cause problem in some people who are on such a low fiber diet. They just don't know what they could be in for. Scary!!! I tell my daughter all the time....DON'T go on that diet.

HI again.
With my insurance coverage I see a doctor within the Kaiser system and I'm not sure if he takes patients that are outside of the Kaiser system, but you could check. He's a very attentive gastroenterologist, and has a good reputation among other doctors in the area. His name is Stanley Drake. I'm also not sure if he is allowed to take non-IBD patients - I have Crohn's and I believe if my colonoscopy had come back normal the system would have switched me to a lower priority doctor weather I like it or not! Annoying that the system won't take us seriously until we get some massive diagnosis! One other suggetion though, a colleague of mine has recommended his brother in the past who works with one of the best GI practices in the city. This doctor is Martin Bashir and he works for Washington Gastroenterology in the city. Good luck and let me know if you're still having no luck finding anyone - I could try to get Dr. Drake to recommend others.

my mom tells me the same thing and she has Crohns disease... white foods are bad.. well fine- they may be bad, but I feel better for eating them! and I am losing weight as well as inches- I lost noticable inches as soon as I started this diet because most of the bloat went away- I still occasionally bloat, but its a lot less frequently now... and the weight is coming off in a slow healthy manner- because I am exercising and cut back the calories to a reasonable level worked out wiht my doc and cut the fat as well..
