Thanks for the positive role model! I do have questions. Do you think your IBS is ever related to emotional issues or upsets? I am pretty sure mine is, since as a child upward if something scared me I'd immediately get the runs. So even a totally healthy Heather diet won't stop that unless I can change the brain-gut connection somehow via hypnosis or something like that. Do you by nature have an optimistic happy personality? I guess my bottomline question is whether Heather or others see any validity in the often-made claim (which I can verify from my experience) that flare-ups of IBS-D are often in conjunction with some very unhappy experience in life. Perhaps the answer for that is better coping skills, a stronger spiritual connection, etc.
But it sounds like YOUR IBS is purely a physical food trigger. That seems to also be Heather's hypothesis, but I'm just not sure yet. I've been eating her diet since August and still have had 2 flare-ups of IBS-D that each lasted about 3 weeks!
