hey there...i know it sounds really scary..I don't know what did it!! I discovered heathers website about nine years into my IBS and now I am ten years in...I decided to try heathers way for a few months, and that happened to coincide with my ibs turning from C to A....the D I got terrified me, gave me awful nausea etc and all I wanted was white rice. But this episode was after I caught a nasty parasite. So for six months I continued to be terrified of fibre...but was fighting C more and more as the months went on. i was getting terribly bored and disheartened with all the white stuff, and the more and more I studied the naturopathy, the more I believed the way bowels should be according to it...and literally one day i woke up and said to myself ' I am not scared anymore..I ate this way for years and it helped my IBS...I am just going to do it'. My skin was getting bad, my energy low, my moods were awful and I just KNEW it was all from the refined stuff...so i went to wholefoods and did a shop like I used to do and in one day completely changed my diet...so far SOOOOO good...its so good to eat all these things again..so the courage just came from me seeing that the refined was wasn't working for me.
Listen...I was going to suggest you do the same thing. A lot fo the fibre I eat is semi soluble -barley, oats etc...a wholewheat pitta bread or something. Yep I eat raw salad and vegies and lentils and a few nuts etc. But it reaches a point where nothing is working. Its not healthy to be on so many medications, I know you have an almost emotional attachment to them - believe me I GET it- been there!! But I really think you should go back to basics, I've said this before...did you ever try a higher fibre diet when you were first diagnosed? what have you tried????
Heathers diet is fantastic for a lot of people, and she is an amazing person, but hey...it just wasn't working for me...but I learnt a lot! The acacia made me sick as a dog too!!
