I hate to tell you this, but from my own miserable experience, you can't just partially follow Heather's diet. If you don't follow Heather's diet on a full-time basis, you will get sick.
If I stray even one millimetre away from the diet, I can get an IBS attack. However, as long as I follow all the rules of the diet, I am pain free and fine.
One of the key things is to switch to organic food. I can't stress this enough in my postings. I don't think the average person on this message board appreciates how sensitive their gut can be and how tainted our regular food supply is. Conventional food contains all sorts of things that can trigger IBS attacks.
Another key element is to stay away from prepared foods or anything containing additives. Lots of people on this board eat prepared foods (potato chips, etc.) and most of those people are still sick.
I feel great since I began following the rules of Heather's diet and switched to organic and stayed away (with just a few notable exceptions like additive-free babyfood and organic Earth Balance buttery spread) from prepared foods.
Prior to that, I had been sick with IBS attacks for 45 years!
