That's incredibly interesting. You know I tried the Atkins low-carb diet back in 2003 - did for a year. I never felt so good in my life - no gas, hardly any D, no C (except at the very beginning). But this diet is so anti-low-carb (Heather even says so herself), I always wondered how I did so well on such a high-fat, low carb diet when THIS is supposed to help IBS. I figured it was because my main triggers seem to be high insoluble fiber grains like bran, and fructose (fruit juice is like Drano to me), both of which are nearly eliminated on a low-carb diet.
I think I will try Heather's diet for another few weeks, and see what happens. I agree 5 days really isn't a fair shot.
Ugh, it's all so frustrating. 
--------------------
IBS-A since age 12, and fructose sensitive; with the exception of my pregnancy, have been following Heather's diet since Nov. 19, 2007.
Taking 12g of Acacia per day. Relatively stable since March 2008!
