The Atkins diet is the exact opposite of the way you should be eating if you have IBS, or any other stomach disorders. It is high in fat and protein, and has almost no soluable fiber. On top of that, avoiding good carbohydrates from your diet is totally unhealthy for any extended period of time for ANYONE. Carbohydrates are essential for a healthy body. Stick to Heather's guidelines, if you follow an excercise routine and eat proper portions, you won't gain any weight.
The Atkins diet came about from body builders who for two weeks before a competetion would eliminate carbs from their diet and eat only proteins. This would eliminate extra water weight and "bulk" and make their bodies ready for competing. The difference is, they only do it for two weeks, then began eating carbs again, and they excercise every day as well.
Normal people aren't body builders and need good carbs every day for a healthy diet, and people with IBS, even more so!
Hope this helped,
