So, you are waiting right now to find out if you actually have LI rather than IBS? Does that mean that you have had dairy at least every three days since you have been ill?

Until IBS was first suspected I ate dairy every day of my life. Once I started following Heather's diet I would get stable for periods,so I thought IBS was the correct diagnosis. But, I found when I would go on vacations where I couldn't really follow the diet that I sometimes stayed stable. On those trips I would eat fresh veggies, fruit, and lean meats, but very little in the way of soluble fiber. The one key on those trips was very little dairy. The trips I had problems with I typically ate butter, cheese, and yogurt. Right now, I'm just cutting out everything that has even the slightest bit of dairy or dairy derivative in it, but otherwise eating normally. Plus, I'm taking a lactaid with my morning pills to counter the lactose in those. I still haven't gotten totally normal yet, but I still have one more day to go until my body can be declared dairy-free (other than my meds...grrr). Like I said though, I do feel better overall.
