Re: Yeah, I'm curious too, because...       08/27/05 10:03 AM Edit Reply Quote Sand Reged: 12/13/04 Posts: 4490 Loc: West Orange, NJ (IBS-D) My GI guy thought the high SF recommendation was fabulous - just what he'd suggest. He sort of shrugged at the no red meat, no alcohol suggestion - he wouldn't have said that, but he didn't have a problem with it if it worked for me. (I have a sneaking suspicion that he himself is a steak and scotch guy.) My Family Practice doctor and my endocrinologist love the diet because my cholesterol and my triglycerides took a nose dive. As far as doctors saying, "Eat whatever you want", I don't think that's necessarily bad advice if restricting your eating isn't making any difference. In other words, if following Heather's diet makes you feel better then follow it. But if it doesn't, why would you? I follow Heather's diet because it works for me, not because I "believe" in it. As I've said before, if I had tried the diet for, say, 6 months and didn't get results, I'd be eating differently. Before I found Heather's diet and her explanation of exactly how food triggered attacks, when I was first having really serious trouble with my IBS, my Family Practice physician cautioned me that, since IBS attacks were so unpredictable, I was likely to get one no matter what I'd eaten. She said she had seen patients therefore assume that something they'd just eaten had triggered the attack and eliminate another food with each attack. Eventually, those patients were eating practically nothing - and still suffering. -------------------- [Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate. - Sandra Boynton] Edited by Sand (08/27/05 10:03 AM) Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
