I'm new to posting on these boards (so I hope this comes across okay), although I routinely read the posts which are always so helpful and encouraging!
Anyway, I just wanted to chime in here and say that I also follow Heather's Diet and definitely believe it's what works for me. The low carb diets pushed on other ibs websites may work for others, but I need my SF base always before eating anything else, or I'm in trouble. Plus the triggers Heather lists do cause me problems (especially fat), so when I was first starting the diet it was so helpful to have these guidelines, and still is when I stray from the diet, suffer the consequences, and need to start over again. My GI doc was no help as he handed me a sample packet of Citrucel, a prescription for anti-spasmodics and said I'd have to figure out the rest.  So I was thrilled when I found this website and message boards.
I'm also sorry to see anlikerm go, but am happy that she has found what works for her. I have a hiatal hernia like she does and her old posts about that were so helpful for me as I learn how to deal with it along with my ibs. Augie-you can pass along to her that she is much appreciated!
And...I just want to extend a huge thanks to everyone who posts on these boards - they truly have been a lifesaver, making me feel like I'm not alone and it's not all just something in my head (like others have told me!)
Big Hugs and Thanks to everyone!
