Just scrolling through the site made me uncomfortable. I find it hard to believe that the diet would be healthy for anyone. How scary!

I mean, if science is now based on anecdotes.

A year and a half ago or so, I was visiting a friend, and she had a book that claimed - with medical research to back it all up - that a high-protein, low-carb diet would cure just about any disease known to man, including IBS. I admit it, I was intrigued, and I tried it.
For a while, I ate low-fat but still high-protein... avoided dairy, a lot of oil and butter, etc, and mostly ate chicken, fish, and vegetables, no starches that weren't reduced-carb (so a lot of baked goods using soy flour). I actually felt fine. It wasn't until I started following a fattier diet - Atkins - with a lot of red meat and oil/butter (like that site!) that I started having a lot of problems. And I do mean A LOT; I've never been so sick in my life, and 6 months later, I'm STILL recovering slowly. That woman who's going to give that diet a try is in for a lot of pain and misery... oy.
NOT worth it, that's for sure! I'll stick with my pasta and potatoes, thanks - I know that works and doesn't cause more problems in the long run!

ewwwwww that plan is awful!!! 
and this part i just have to laugh at:
"Fiber. Do not take fiber supplements. Do not take psyllium seed husk which is very abrasive to the digestive system. Do not eat wheat bran or rice bran. Fiber is a bad dude. Dietary fiber may not be digestible by the healthy individual, but it certainly is digestible by pathogenic gut bacteria and yeasts. Fiber is the perfect time-release food for bad gut bugs and one of the worst thing a person can eat for good health."

the funny part of that... bad gut BUGS... they've proven that IBS isn't a bug... same with IBD.. so why treat them as if they are caused by bugs???
