I did lean towards D when I was really bad, but now I'm pretty much in the middle! You just have to be extra careful with IF when you're C (or A). And many of Heather's recipes actually contain LOTS of safe veggies, etc.

I stick to Heather's diet most of the time. Been on it since November 2004. I do think I generally feel better on the diet. I seem to have more gas/discomfort/cramping when I cheat.
However, I have not noticed a big improvement in the "C" department. Even on Heather's diet, I take Miralax daily (although every now & then I'll skip a day). For the past month I've also been putting ground fennel seeds on my cereal for extra fiber & that really seems to help me.
I tried taking Acacia for a couple months, but that didn't seem to work for me.
Just want you to know that you're not alone.

I'm A (I think) - I used to have a constant cycle of 2 or 3 days of C followed by massive D, then start all over again, both phases extremely difficult with bloating, nausea, headaches, pain and exhaustion.
After 7 months of Heather's diet I feel much better all the time - rarely get the bloating, nausea, headaches, pain, etc, unless I 'experiment' with risky foods. Feel much freer to go out and live a more normal life - feel like I have more control in general.
But I am more consistently C now, sometimes with BMs so soft that they're difficult to pass. So I don't feel I have the answer 100%. But, even so, my insides are generally calm and comfortable! I wouldn't go back - if I live the rest of my life like this, it is still far, far better than what I had before.
