Well being an Aussie girl I can honestly say I've never heard of Mangosteen (although I don't doubt it exists here). I do drink aloe vera juice though which I suppose is much the same type of thing. He he on the dancing around and singing National Anthem whilst harvesting, you dag. What you said in an above post about food and it not affecting you can be true. I saw my GP recently (and I hold my breath while I post this one for fear of starting a problem ) and he told me that I've tried every diet there is to control my IBS and it's still out of control. He told me that while the larger population with IBS are helped by diet that some of us (like me) are simply not helped at all no matter what we eat. Mine is largely caused by stress and hormones (the latter I guess you don't have to worry about so much ) and so I am starting to eat "normally" again after about 5 years of diet fiddling. I'm not saying Heather's diet is not great. It has helped SO many people here, sadly I'm just not one of them. I do hope you find some stability soon, for that matter I hope I do too.

Mangosteen and food stuff....I agree with you on this one!
