I just picked up Heather's book, The First Year, yesterday. I read the entire book last night. My daughter has been suffering all the symptoms of IBS for years, and for years we believed she had Celiac disease (gluten free helped for a while). She was just retested because her symptons were really bad and the tests came back negative! Anyway, trying this diet seems like the PERFECT solution (I hope!!). She has also become a bit overweight, even though she is a runner and very healthy otherwise -- all so frustrating! Anyway, I made her an IBS dinner last night and today we start the diet. However I have one question -- should I be really strict this week, as I think Heather suggests in the book, and then add other foods beginning next week? It's a little confusing. I am trying to plan meals and snacks and thinking for this week I should only be using foods that are insoluble fibers - on the list - and wait to add anything that may cause some flare up. For instance, white bread, rice, bland chicken, only fruits that are okay, I will definitely go only fat free and NO dairy etc --- I've been looking at all the recipes on-line here and they look great for our entire family but not sure if I can use them yet.
Thanks for your help!!
