People who tell someone they are not following the diet correctly DO have someone's best interest in mind!!! and are trying to help someone get better! What do you think (you and others) that some posters just enjoy coming here, reading posts and pointing out where people are erring for nothing but their own gratification?
People love to say they can eat anything, that the diet doesn't work for everyone and get offended when someone contradicts them. No one is saying any diet, including this one, will 100% cure IBS. But I do know this, for as bad as my symptoms are they 1) get much worse when I go off the diet- I feel it almost instantly when I screw up and 2) I have been very stable from the diet at times in my life but cannot sustain that. However it does show me, even in my worst, darkest times of doubt that staying away from trigger foods, eating a SF base and maintaining a low fat diet is only good for IBS. My IBS had worsened because I cannot handle stress, but I still don't think there is anything wrong with the EFI guidelines when they are followed (and C people get enough IF).
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
