I was introduced to Heather's program about six months ago. I feel so much better. I am IBS-C. My condition has improved dramatically. I have found a gentle balance, where I do some of Heather's suggestions, but not all. It is a plan that I can stick to, and I don't feel deprived. I am fortunate to be able to take this medium approach. I thought it might work for some others.
Eliminated:
* All Dairy
* All Red Meat
* Coffee
* Whole grain breads
Changed:
* How I eat, especially the order that I eat food
* Eat soluble fibers first
* Snack on puffed rice between meals
* Eat oatmeal for breakfast
* Eat vegetables cooked versus raw
Added:
* Heather's peppermint tabs before meals
* Heather's fennel tea, sip it throughout the day
* probiotic pill in the mornings
* a short "walkabout" after meals
What I haven't changed:
* Several glasses of wine with dinner (always eat several slices of french bread first)
* fruit. I love peaches, apricots, watermelon, blueberries, strawberries, apples
* Occasional salad. I love raw greens (although I most often save this for dessert!)
* Eat out often
* Nibble on ingredients (like raw vegetables) while I am cooking
