Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: IBS Diet for constipation. any one have any luck?

I have had luck with the EFI Diet, but it has taken me over 6 months of slowly introducing IF along with my SF back into my diet after being on the BTC Diet. I am IBS-C, pain predominate. I am now able to have a "normal" BM almost every morning, and the pain has gone from an 8 on a scale of 1-10 to between a 2 and a 5 depending on my stress level that day. It has not been easy, and I have been very frustrated at times; but I hung in there. As my GI Dr. said, "It took time for your body to get in the condition it is in, and it will take time for it to heal itself."
I found the people on this website very helpful and supportive. I don't post alot of questions b/c most of my questions are usually asked by other people, but I "lurk" everyday. Another thing that I feel has helped me with the pain is the hypnotherapy tapes. They are wonderful and have helped me to relax.
It seems to take people who are IBS-C longer to "stablize" than people who are IBS-D. Hang in there and it will get better.
