I just figured out the months now, Bev. I remember I started it in October of 2004, so I just counted the months. And once the time is up, I don't plan on going off the diet if it's working! Or maybe even if it isn't. Maybe I'll know when it's time and that may be never. I just don't know yet.
What you said makes sense though. I'll try to be more positive and believe in it...but it's hard to make your brain change it's natural tendencies.

I've been reading everything I can online about IBS, I have no life lol anyway,came across another site,can't remember which but ppl were talking about this diet and how it doesn't work,how its just for heather to line her pockets..make as much as she can off sick ppl.
there were some ppl who said they got good results,following here basic ideas then adapting the diet to what works for them,eating red meat,dairy etc.
I'm going to cont. to give it a try,I want the pain to stop.

We talked about this when you were posting back in the Spring and all I can say now is what I said then: the argument that Heather's diet is just for her to make money off sick people simply doesn't make sense. Everything you need to know about Heather's diet is provided for free on this site. Following Heather's diet doesn't require you to buy a single thing from her. Yes, Heather sells products, but she doesn't force you to buy them before she'll graciously, generously, freely, and compassionately share what she's learned about managing IBS. And personally I'm glad Heather can make money by selling IBS products because I shudder to think how much it costs her to keep this Website running. The storage costs on all the Board posts alone must be amazing.
This complete lack of logic really makes me mad, especially when I think about the other "help" for IBS sites I've seen that want money up front before sharing the "secret" of curing IBS.

Anyone who seriously thinks Heather is doing this just to "line her pockets" is full of sh*t. Yes, she sells products, but you don't have to buy them. There are plenty of us who don't - myself included. Everything you need to know about how to deal with IBS, including how to get a proper diagnosis in the first place, is provided for free right here on this website, out of the goodness of her heart and her desire to help other people who are/were in the same boat she is.
With the cost of running this site alone, with the traffic it generates and bandwidth it must pull, I'm surprised she's not operating at a LOSS. I'd love to know what level of unreality you have to be living in to call any of this "lining pockets". Idiots.
As for the diet working or not, it DOES, for a lot of people. Before I found this site and put the diet to work for me, I was a step away from being hospitalized for such severe IBS that I was malnourished, underweight and anorexic, scared to death to eat & afraid to even leave the house. Heather and this diet gave me my life back. Period. Disbelievers can put *that* in their pipe and smoke it!

as I said it is just what I have read,good and bad. we are all different,what works for some does not work for others.
just being able to help each other is a good thing.

I agree that we are all different and I understand that Heather's approach may not be the right one for everyone with IBS. However, there's a huge difference between saying "Heather's diet doesn't work for me" and "Heather's diet is just a scam".
I know Heather's diet works for me, so I can just dismiss anyone who says it's a bunch of malarkey. The really sad thing about people bad-mouthing Heather's approach is that they're scaring away people with IBS who could benefit from what she has to say.

Betty, Just to add to what Sand said. By what you've said,
I know the website you're talking about. Awhile back some
of them tried to invade here but were fortunately exposed
and withdrew. They are just a bunch of flaming you know
whats that like to rip each other to shreds. Pay no heed
to them. -Bob
