Yes, I have made it one entire year without a single attack of IBS-D!! THANK YOU, HEATHER!!! Thank you, everybody. Could NOT have done it without you.
This approach works when you work it, so work it, you're worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to stick around for a few weeks to repay the luck gods by passing along suggestions and encouragement to newbies and old friends alike. So see you tomorrow!

That is OUTSTANDING news!!  What do you mean by "I'm going to stick around for a few weeks " do you plan on leaving us after that?

In case you haven't noticed, I left a couple months ago to focus on my migraines. I wish they were as easy to control as my IBS!! Don't worry, I'll never leave completely -- this is the best place on the web!!

Wow, you are awesome! So what is life like without pain and cramps and the like? Pretty darn good I bet. 
I hope you do stick around Laura Sue. Those of us who are struggling need your wisdom and encouragement. Plus we would miss you like heck!
I know I haven't posted to you, but I've been reading the board for about a year before actually registering, so even though you don't know me, I've "known" you for about a year and a half, and would greatly miss seeing you on the board. I miss seeing Bevrs, Jenx, Mags also. I see them around a bit, but not nearly enough. You guys bring so much to this website. In my dream world, no one would ever leave, even though they are "stable" and enjoying life now that IBS is not the focus of their days!
Again, wow, you are a true inspiration. I will have to go and read some of your earlier posts whenever I get discouraged and feel like giving up, which comes up often, lately.
So, LS, what are going do now that you've conquered IBS? Going to Disney World? Hee Hee!

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

Congrats, LS!
In my church, when someone gets married, or baptized, or gets an award, or even gets inducted into the parish council, we sing GOD GRANT YOU MANY YEARS So right now I'm singing that to you in my head!

Laura Sue:
Congratulations! This is wonderful news! It gives us all hope!
I discovered Heather's website almost two years ago. I follow her diet religiously, but I continue to have D. However, I rarely, if ever, have any IBS pain anymore. In fact, to be honest, I can't recall the last time I experienced pain due to IBS. Prior to discovering Heather's diet, I was in pain almost all the time.
Knowing how to eat "safely" has also enabled me to greatly expand my diet from eating just a few miserable morsels to eating lots of delicious and healthy things. I've never felt so good!
In other words, whether it cures all or part, there is no question Heather's diet works and that it is truly a god-send.
I feel I could never thank Heather enough for what she has done for me. I literally owe my well-being to her!
