Just out of curiousity, what medical testing have you both, well your friend, undergone? IBS can look like many other illnesses including parasitic infections. I had a parasitic infection that left me with IBS. My friend had suffered from IBS like symptoms for years and come to find it is was a parasitic infection, not IBS, the whole time. Another friend of mine was told she had IBS and it ended up being a rare disorder of the gallbladder which has since been removed and all symptoms have ceased. Many doctors, I have found, are quick to give the diagnosis of IBS without performing all of the necessary tests to diagnose it. Yes, there are conflicting messages about what IBS sufferers should eat. Even the doctors will all tell you something different. I say eat what works for you! Obviously Heather's diet is not working for you all, but it does for SO many others. I say keep on digging until you find what works for you and press those doctors for all of the necessary tests if you haven't done so already.
