Today seems to be my day not to understand stuff. I'm not sure what you mean when you ask "For those who do eat wheat, how can you justify it knowing the results?" I eat wheat and I'm stable, so the results from the study don't really mean anything to me - and wouldn't even if they'd done the test on 108 million IBSers rather than 108. (The proof of the pudding is in the eating, so to speak.  ) On the other hand, if I'd tried Heather's diet and hadn't gotten stable, I would have gone on to try other things and I imagine a strict elimination diet under medical supervision would have been one of those things.
I think Heather's great - she definitely saved my quality of life and she may have saved my life. Nonetheless, given that her guidelines work for some and not for others, I think her diet has to be considered a starting point, one possible path. If it's not working for you, then I think food elimination is a good thing to try and I agree with the poster who said the best course would be to do it with professional help.
