Dear Heather

This is a letter of gratitude for your book Eating for IBS. As you can see from my photograph, the book has been extremely well used!

When I developed and was diagnosed with IBS about 8 years ago, I was given little guidance regarding diet. Desperate to manage the pain, I searched the bookstores in Toronto where I live. All I came across were IBS cookbooks that gave recipes for things I knew from experience would trigger spasms, such as fats and raw vegetables. Then I found your book on the shelf, and even reading bits of it in the store made me realize that at last I had found someone who "got it"!

Since then I have used your recipes and followed your eating guidelines religiously with tremendous results. If I stick to the program�and I haven't found it onerous to do so because the recipes are so delicious�then most of the time I am symptom-free. I have made almost every recipe in the book, most of them many, many times. My husband loves good food and can eat anything, yet he does not feel he has suffered at all from eating on my diet! Now that he has to cut back on fats himself, he is glad to have this assistance as well.

I really appreciate all the effort and concern for others that you have put into the book. I simply cannot imagine life without it.
It's obvious I need a new copy, but mine is so well marked that I don't think I am ready to replace it!

Sincerely,

Linda Pelton
