you were probably ignoring me. That's alright, I see how it is.  
Like I said in my reply to Sand, the first 3 or 4 months, I hardly saw any improvement at all, IF any at all. Once I started managing my anxiety, I was able to expand my diet a little bit, and then I could really start to follow the diet, and I started to improve... slowly.
I registered here on the boards June 2004. I actually started the diet about a month before then. (Yes, I was a lurker, hehe.) I didn't consider myself "stable" until this past August or so... and considered myself stable THEN because my attacks dropped down to once a month, usually hormone-related. I will NEVER be completely attack- and symptom-free. So anyway, yes, that happened 15 months after I started the diet.
Ya know what, though - and I didn't mention this in my reply to Sand - I would have stuck with the diet and lifestyle changes even if my IBS symptoms didn't improve, because it's generally a HEALTHY way to live, and the kind of diet that EVERYONE should be following, IBS or not. But that's just me.
