Hello everyone. I have had IBS for as long as I can remember! I was diagnosed with it 15 month's ago. But have had it from the age of 5. I'm 24 now. I really hope that I can get better following Heather's plan! I want my life back!!! I have a lot to learn about the diet and I'm sure I'll be asking lot's of questions!! Take care!

Hi Steph -
Welcome to the boards. (We are the same age!) I am sure you will find Heather's diet terrific. It is amazing what the triggers are.
When I started I thought it was only greasy food but it's so much more than that.
I am sure you will start feeling better soon. If you can I would really suggest getting Heather's books. They are wonderful. I actually just got the First Year with IBS. I bought the cook book first and they are both worth the money.
Anyways - nice to have you join us - enjoy the boards!

HI Lana!
I do have Heather's cook book and I'm going to get her first year book today! I'm so happy to have come across this. Finally something that seems to be working for people. I feel like Dr's. at least the one's I went to don't know much about IBS. They never told me about the different fiber's. Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi StephS,
I'm new here too and soooo glad I found this place.
My doctor didn't tell me squat about IBS so, I've learned everything from here. Everyone is really nice and helpful too. Also, if you are looking for food ideas DEFINATLY
check out the recipe area. I can hardly wait to cook some of them.
Anyway, take care and Eat safe!

I completely understand your feelings on the doctors (and I think there is a few more around here too). They really didn't seem to know much about it.
I am going to have to get a copy of the book for my doctor so they will start to help people.
Once again, welcome abroad.

Hi Steph! I am new too and SO glad to have found this board and Heather's books.
One thing I would suggest about the diet is this: if you are not used to eating soy, be a little careful as it can cause gas. Add the soy to your diet gradually and take beano with it. I had trouble with soy milk in particular, but things like Luna Bars and Soy Crisps (both are fabulous, btw) are much easier to manage.
Also, Veggie Slices and "Better than Cream Cheese" are some great non-dairy cheeses that you can get at Trader Joes and health stores.
