I didn't think you sounded condescending at all - just informative, to the point, and helpful! I think the EFI Diet Cheet Sheet (Go, Caution, Stop) does a really good job of summarizing what to eat and how to eat to it, plus listing the triggers you must avoid. Even if the list doesn't contain every fruit, vegetable, or grain it does give you guidelines on how to eat something that may be IF. If I try something new I prefer to follow these guidelines rather than taking a poll of how it's affected others. Although, I can understand wanting to know others reactions to it in order to save yourself from some pain. I've asked this question before and I've replied to such questions as well, thinking that my experience my help. But now I'm not too sure about that. You can't know for sure if the person you're asking IS following the EFI correctly and incorporating this fruit/vegetable/grain into his/her diet in a safe way or if he/she has another issue in addition to IBS (diverticulosis, colonic inertia, etc). So, now, that's why I usually just experiment on my own.
Alicia, you've always been very helpful and kind to me and others on the boards, so I know you weren't being rude.
