I first found this site about six years ago. I followed the diet and suggestions faithfully, and though there was some improvement, I don't think I was ever stable. I read a lot of posts about finding the foods that work for me. I stopped following the diet and began only using it as a guideline. Since then (four years), I have mostly good days. I don't know if that's stable or not, but at least I have my life back most of the time.
I think it's important for everyone to experiment to see what foods they personally can and cannot eat. I am IBS-D. I cannot eat oatmeal or soy AT ALL. However, I can eat corn, celery and very low-fat real cheese. I cannot take probiotics. However, two tablespoons of plain, fat-free real yogurt daily has done wonders toward improving my condition.
Finding what works for you involves a lot of trial and error, and results in a lot of bad days. But, if you're not feeling well anyway, what do you have to lose?

Re: Uh Has Anybody Here Actually Recovered From IBS Or Is This Just a Myth?
