I'm not trying to be a pain, but how do you know if real yogurt and grapes would make you feel worse? (Sigh. This is one of those times when typing just doesn't work as well as talking.) If you felt bad before Heather's diet when you were eating whatever you wanted and you don't feel better now, then I guess I don't see the value of restricting your diet. That is, if you don't feel any better on Heather's diet, then it seems like you wouldn't feel any worse off it.

I agree there's no harm in following Heather's diet - it's certainly heatlhier than fast food, high fat, and junk food - but I guess I think of it as being gut-friendly only if it actually helps the IBS. That is, I don't think real yogurt and fresh fruit are bad for the gut, so the only reason to avoid them is if doing so keeps you from having an attack.

Can you tell I'm super results oriented?

I imagine you already have, but just in case: you have had all the tests to rule out other conditions, yes? I only ask because I think it's pretty rare for someone who's D to get so little help from Heather's diet, especially combined with anti-spasmodics and mega-Immodium.

I do hope you start to feel better.
