Quote: I'm finding this diet difficult, and a bit confusing be honest if its so great why are so many members here still having pain etc? why is anyone having trouble with their weight? this is all low fat, I'm underweight and need to gain some.
I hope you don't think I'm being rude,thats not my intention at all..just looking for help and support.
People still having problems seems to be a theme today - I just posted in a thread about doing everything right but still having problems. I think Linz did a great job of addressing your question about people on the Board still having problems in an earlier post. All I would say in addition is that nothing I know of actually cures IBS, so you're looking for the best possible control over your symptoms. Heather's approach is one that a lot of people have found helpful and some have not. You won't know if it will work for you until you give it a full-out try.
As for why people are having trouble with their weight - I assume you mean being overweight - I can't speak for anyone else, but for me the answer is one simple word: sugar. I just love the stuff and it's completely IBS-safe. Add to that the fact that it's possible to make it into IBS-safe chocolate desserts and I'm pretty much sunk. Sigh.
If you're looking to add weight, try cruising the dessert section of the Diet Board. ADBs in particular are very tummy friendly, marvelously delicious, and dangerously easy to make.
HTH.
