Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

What I do not understand here is the very fact that everyone is different.Not everyone eats the same to get stable.

The EFI was a life saver for me.I recommend it to everyone I can.I even explained it to my doctor who thought it was very interesting.It was the only thing that stablized me when my gut was out of control. I return to it when feeling poopy.

The thing is even though mentioning dairy is against the rules, some ibsers can handle it.So why can't we tell others that yes I can but maybe you can't.

Is this web site only here to help people ONLY if they follow Heathers advice? I was under the impression, correct me if I am wrong, that Heather started this site to help other people with IbS. I didn't realize that we were only allowed on if we were vegan.

I can't do any soy product.I can do dairy product.I am not the only one.But because that is how MY ibs works I can't tell anyone?

If we also can't talk about meat then why are there recipes on this site that include meat?

I have found some really great advice on here and have met people I really like and I respect their opinions.If I can no longer get help for all my IBS concerns, then where do I go.If topics are being censored here then I prefer to go elsewhere.
That saddens me because I have found great help by following Heathers diet guidelines and if I can no longer discuss all the aspects of my IBS then I don't think I want to be here anymore.I cetainly won't reccomend this site for others anymore.

If my opinion means nothing to you then don't read my posts.Don't respond if you don't want to.But DON"T tell me I am wrong when I relate MY experiences.

IBS is so different to each of us and we all find relief in different ways. That doesn't mean that because I choose to eat off the diet that I am cheating.It simply means that my body has its on unique triggers.

Please feel free to let me know if my post is inappropriate

By the way, Syl , I find your advice and help very amazing.You seem to have a good grasp of what IBS is and how to handle it.I don't believe all the "good posters" have left, I believe all the people that have stablized have left.
