Hi Everyone,
I am new to the boards and just bought Heather's Eating for IBS book. I have a few questions. Have you been following her diet and how long? Have you noticed a difference? I am still a little confused/overwhelmed on what foods I can eat, any suggestions on menu plans/foods to eat? Thanks
Marcia

Welcome Marcia. I for one have had incredible success with following the Eating for IBS (EFI) Diet. It is overwhelming at first and I believe that is at least partially because you throw out all of your past eating habits and start over. After I started the EFI diet in earnest (that means after I decided to quit cheating), it took about 2 weeks to feel remarkably better and now 9 months into it I can tell you I am stable-one normal BM per day and almost no cramping or pain and the gas is manageable too. Sometimes if I get too proud of how well I am doing and cheat I find out that I do have IBS because I pay for the cheating. Read Read Read and follow the dieting guidelines as closely as you can remembering that you are unique and may find that some of the safe foods don't work for you and you can tolerate some of the unsafe foods while others cannot. Keep us posted on your progress.
