Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi Andrew. Not sure if you will be coming back to check your responses but I wanted to say I give you lots of credit for following your "gut" and moving on to something that may free your mind up for the better. IBS seems like a prison when you are eating and doing everything right, yet still suffer plus have the addition of emotional toll. Sometimes I wish I hadn't read so much as now I am symptomatic and emotionally so drained and confused as to what I must still be doing wrong. I just haven't had the courage to do what you have done...and move on. Maybe, one day, I will follow your decision? It's hard to know when you have given it enough time....or wonder if relief is right around the corner and not wanting to let go of a year of getting to that point, even though you don't feel it yet. How do you know when you have given it enough time?? I don't know.

Do you really think you will be able to eat/drink things that you previously read (and have not had) in a year?

I was wondering what Zara asked also....do you have any plan? Are you going to continue to follow any of the principles of the EFI diet? How "liberal" are you going to be? Gonna eat a pizza and soda! Or just not read labels so compulsively?

I know you will most likely continue with the Acacia, as you seem happy with it. I'm just really curious as to what your plan is.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy your emotional freedom.
