Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I have been reading up on naturopathy...and Dr. Weil, an MD (I believe he's also a naturopath) discusses diet in his book Natural Health, Natural Medicine.

He basically suggests Heather's diet to his readers! He praises carbs!!! He praises peppermint for tummies! He even says that beans need to be mushy to be best digested!

What about meat? He explains that way back when people ate meat on rare occasion...when they slaughtered an animal...and it was a HUGE feast! Most of the protein folks got way way back many centuries ago was NOT from animals but from soy, greens, etc. Dairy is not typically a food humans need after they finish breast feeding. No wonder so many people's bodies reject it!

I'm finding all of this very interesting. As my guy, mind the pun, told me all along....Heather is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

I know it's not easy to change your lifestyle or habits...but it's worth it!

Here's to your health! (A glass of water please!)
