I have had great success with the diet getting my BMs under control. I would be C for 3-4 days and then have a day of horribly painful D. It was an endless cycle that included nausea. I now have 1-2 BMs a day normally and was feeling pretty good. I was still in pain, but found out that my gallbladder was only functioning at 10% so just had it removed on Thursday which should elimate the pain and I might be able to add a few things back to my diet. It did take awhile for the diet to start working. Give it time. It can take up to a year or more for you to stabilize. You should start seeing a difference though soon. Experiment with the recipes on the board. I enjoyed lots of the muffin recipes for snacks and eat cream of rice cereal every morning with cinnamon sugar. If you are using soy you might want to try Rice or Almond milks instead. Soy can give you gas until you get used it. Good luck.

"The first in time and the first in importance of the influences upon the mind is that of nature. Every day, the sun; and after sunset, night and her stars. Ever the winds blow; ever the grass grows."
Emerson, August 31, 1837
