Syl, thanks for this info. It's very comprehensive. Do you know why food allergy tests aren't effective for IBSers?
Who on the board has tried this type of diet? Did it help you figure out your problem foods? I wonder if my IBS symptoms will show up anyway because food isn't the only trigger.
I am concerned because in addition to eliminating everything on that list, I have to steer clear of most fruits, veggies, and beans. So basically for two plus weeks I would eat rice or potatoes with chicken, turkey, or fish, with peas, carrots, or green beans. That's actually pretty close to how I am eating now except I also eat oatmeal, bread, and food with sugar in it. Plus, they say to also not use supplements while on the diet, and I've only been on my supplements for a few weeks. I think I am finally getting results especially with the ones that treat heartburn and thyroid. I suppose I need to consult with my ND about this type of diet, but it would be helpful to know how much success people have had in terms if finding offending foods and feeling better.
