Frygurl, my symptoms are only controlled by my diet insofar as avoiding refined sugar. With all the research I've done on my own (because all the doctors I've seen have helped me DIDDLY SQUAT) I'm convinced my body is just plain OFF BALANCE... i.e., presence and overgrowth of unfriendly organisms such as candida (which is why avoiding refined sugar helps me so much), "bad" bacteria, and parasites. I also feel the ROOT CAUSE of my body being off balance is indeed mental/emotional, since I have spent so many years of my life dealing with traumatic things (abusive marriage and a host of other things I won't get into). I feel the body reflects the spirit, or soul, or mind, whatever you want to call it.
So I've been working on my own "IBS" with a two-pronged approach; 1)addressing the physicality of it with anti-candida, anti-parasite, and anti-bad bacteria measures (I could write a book about THAT) and 2)trying to heal ME, not just my body.
Since I started this approach a month ago, I've felt the most relief I ever have yet. I don't feel completely "normal" yet, but I've had more normal days than I expected so soon.
