Anyone who seriously thinks Heather is doing this just to "line her pockets" is full of sh*t. Yes, she sells products, but you don't have to buy them. There are plenty of us who don't - myself included. Everything you need to know about how to deal with IBS, including how to get a proper diagnosis in the first place, is provided for free right here on this website, out of the goodness of her heart and her desire to help other people who are/were in the same boat she is.
With the cost of running this site alone, with the traffic it generates and bandwidth it must pull, I'm surprised she's not operating at a LOSS. I'd love to know what level of unreality you have to be living in to call any of this "lining pockets". Idiots.
As for the diet working or not, it DOES, for a lot of people. Before I found this site and put the diet to work for me, I was a step away from being hospitalized for such severe IBS that I was malnourished, underweight and anorexic, scared to death to eat & afraid to even leave the house. Heather and this diet gave me my life back. Period. Disbelievers can put *that* in their pipe and smoke it!
