| I am IBS-C (severely). I get bloated, gassy and stomach distention from my IBS. I love Acacia fiber supplement. It is an excellent source of fiber for IBS. It relieves my bloating, gas and stomach distention as well as helping my bile. Acacia has a probiotic in it. The probiotic I take daily along with the Acacia gives me great relief.

| Reasons for low rating of cookbook | |||||
| Heather, I live in a small town in South Carolina, and so many of the products required are not available here whatsoever. I am on disability and cannot afford to order all the special products either. I also cannot easily get to Columbia, 45 miles away, to try and find them without a great deal of difficulty. I apologize for having to just tell you the truth, but for those of us who are disabled and living in more rural areas, the cookbook just is not that helpful, plus some of the recipes just have far far too many ingredients, including those which are unobtainable. But thank you for trying to write a cookbook for people nonetheless. | |||||

As I was reading through the trigger foods and insoluble fiber foods that worsen IBS symptoms--I knew that FINALLY someone knew what I was experiencing. I have had so many people tell me that IBS is due to Candida or all other sorts of things and I have tried all kinds of rememdies to no avail. Your eating advice and diet are so incredible and exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you for offering such a common sense, practical approach to living with IBS.

| Easy to read and great recipes | |
| I purchased your book about a week ago and I can already feel the difference. I have made many of your recipes all of them have been delicious. I have been suffering apparently a long time, I just never had a name for what I have. My symptoms got worse after I became a lacto/ovo vegetarian. I did what most vegetarians do, I increased my fiber with whole grain cereal & breads, fresh fruits and veggies etc. Every morning after breakfast and many suppliments, I would run to the bathroom to vomit. No one had an answer. I went for an upper GI, with negative results, next being told I may be lactose intolerant I finally got a name from my Doctor....IBS. But no real information about how to live with followed, until I found your site. I can't thank you enough. I know people must write you everyday, praising you for all your work and efforts. Your book is easy to read, the recipes are delicious and it is chock full of the necessary information needed to live with this condition and live well. | |

| I am a retired lady that has suffered with grastric (IBS) problems most of my life and lately it had accelerated, affected my whole life style, caused me pain, and embarrasment, etc. (In fact all the effects you listed in your wonderful book.) I too had been told that it was all in my head. It took me four days to find you on the internet -- I downloaded the tips sheets and ordered your book the next day. I followed you plan and had immediate results. The most important part to me was discovering the triggers. That was one month ago and I have not had an attack since. What is more exciting, two friends have gotten the same relief. The last shopping trip to stock up on the right foods had me talking with others in the store and I mailed them your tips sheets! | |

As was stated, IBS is very individual. I think the recipes are very helpful for creating a varied diet. One can pick and choose what works. But I especially liked all of the tips for dealing with IBS, such as eating a less safe food AFTER eating soluble fiber. It is a solid, thorough and helpful book which has much information for people suffering with IBS. Thanks. | |

At first, it seemed to be certain things like carrots and cabbage, but last year, it increased to the point where it almost seemed as though everything I ate caused diareaha, constipation, and even widespread muscle and joint pain. This led to the idea that perhaps I had fybromyalgia, and I went on with that idea until I noticed that all of my food issues had one thing in common: Beta carotine, or Vitamin A. I know now that it was merely a coincidence, that the vegatables containing high amounts of insoluable fiber also contain beta carotine, but at the time i thought that it alone was the source of my troubles. Long story shorter, after going to my doctor, he directed me to an allergist, who diagnosed me with IBS. Even after I had an actual diagnosis, I still didnt know what to do. I employed the mighty power of google, but still any true answers, much less a cure, was not to be found. I was beginning to struggle with self pity until I spoke to a person I respect very much, a former sunday school teacher of mine. She told me that she had had IBS over twenty years ago, and because of careful eating, she was able to reverse her IBS completely! So I started doing what this lady had done. I stayed away from citrus, from spicy foods, and I ate a lot of bread, rice and pasta. I took Tums before and after every meal, I drank a considerable amount of water, and I switched from regular milk to soy milk. And gradually my stomach settled down. and then I snuck in a candy bar or two. and then it was orange juice, and maybe a french fry here and there. And lo and behold, it's been four months and I am having virtually no problem with my IBS! In my early days of diagnosis, I ran across your website, and IT WAS A GODSEND. I had NO Idea that there were two kinds of fiber, much less that one of them could actually hurt me! I'm sorry this is sort of long, but I am SO grateful to you because IM REVERSING MY IBS!!! I can eat virtually anything i want WITHOUT Tums! I'm able to eat more food, and I had a great big salad the other day for the first time in MONTHS. It felt fantastic to eat salad!! I feel like I have my life back! Thank you so much!!! | |

| Purchsing Tummy Fiber | |
| First off I would like to say that my IBS was not as horrible as some of the cases I have heard about. It would hit me about twice a month with not to much pain, but I needed to be very near a bathroom when it did hit. The tummy fiber has both reduced the amount it has happened, and lessened the severity when it does. Also episodes dont last as long now. Since I am not a severe case I take about a tablespoon twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed. One of the best benefits is how regular and "healthy" my bowel movements are now even when I do not have any episodes. I can travel and fly with a lot more confidence now! I like that this is a preventative and natural remedy, rather than having an uneducated doctor tell cutting me a prescription for some pills after the fact. Thank you for thinking of us Heather. | |

| Hi Heather, I'm 28 years old and have been recently diagnosed with IBS | |
| I have been suffering for the past 10 years with this disorder, never knowing what to do about it. When my doctor told me what I had, I honestly looked at him like he had three heads, I had no idea what it meant. I went on the internet and came across your website and I have to tell you, you are an angel!! Your website is so full of information, I don't feel like I have been left alone to deal with this. My sister has gastritis and deals with similar symptoms. I'm going to encourage her to read your book as well, I know she will only benefit from your knowledge. You are a true inspiration!! It's a difficult disorder to deal with, not to mention embarrassing. Especially for women, society doesn't exactly make it an acceptable disorder to live with. I'm also going to tell my friends about your book and anyone else who will listen, whether they like it or not!! I've been trying your suggestions and tips for eating and I have to say I am feeling better. I even went away over the weekend and I picked out only the foods I knew wouldn't bother me. I have to say, I went the whole weekend without an attack. Thank you!! I would be more than happy to have you quote me on your website. That's how I came to buying the book. The testimonials really sold me. I no longer feel alone and I'm so glad that we have someone like you who really cares!! I will definitely write the shows you told me about, they really need to be aware that this has been an ongoing problem. The more information people have access to, the better. I will absolutely do my best for you, for you have been there for all of us!! Best wishes and be well!! It takes a special person to share their experiences with strangers. Being open and honest has turned those strangers into friends. Keep up the great work and god bless!! | |

| Thank You | |
| Dear Heather & Staff - I have recentally purchased your two books "Eating for IBS" and "The First Year" IBS book. First they came very, very quickly. I've read "Eating for IBS" first and flagged the pages of recipes I liked and plan on trying. I feel like the book was written for me. I've started reading the other book today. I'm only part way thru it, but I had to stop and take time to email you. I've always had stomach issues - was told I was lactose intolerant as a young child. Then when I was 15 years old I began seeing a GI doctor and then after nearly 8 months they decided it was my gallbladder. I had that removed in 2003. I still had problems after that and went to see a pediatric GI doctor who said I had a senstive stomach, gave me a perscription for Elavil and send me on my way. I've dealt with being ill off and on for the last 7 years. Within the last 6 months I started getting sicker with everything I ate. I went to a new doctor and had every test known to man, and every test listed in your book, and everything was fine. But I am not fine. I was diagnosised with IBS but the doctor didn't have any information to offer me. I was also diagnosised with GERD. Anyways, I am seriously overhauling my diet as right now I eat a lot of fried foods, saucey foods, eat out a lot, and lots of processed foods. I'm trying to switch to more natural, non-processed, and organic foods. I even make my own bread one a week. (Which my boyfriend prefers much more than store bought bread!) I have ordered other books on homeopahtic medicines and aromatherapy books. I'm going to try yoga and meditation as I am also on an antidepressant and have anxiety. (See why I think you wrote these two books for me?!) I plan on finishing this book and really working hard at this. I want to feel better and feel like myself again. I've missed a lot of work due to diarrhea, constipation, and pain because of attacks. And it is extremely hard to explain to people that I work with because they don't understand what is wrong. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for writing these books. You have no idea how much I appreciate them, your website, and everything you have to offer. You have seriously changed my life...for the better. Thank you again. Amanda P. Pennsylvania | |

| My Weightloss Story | |
| Hi Heather - My life has completely changed in the past 18 months since I found your website. I was in agony with I went online, searching for help. And I immediately found it. Not knowing what to eat to stop my pain, I found a simple answer on your website – and it worked. Just eating a small bowl of plain oatmeal began to relax all of my spasms. I immediately bought both of your books and within days I'd eliminated all of the recommended foods. The biggest challenge was letting go of artificial sweeteners. I was frightened to eat sugar again. I've been fat all of my life despite my total devotion to whatever diet I was on. I never cheated – often for up to a year. But I never could lose more than 25 pounds. I was at my heaviest – 150 pounds over my "ideal" weight and considering surgery - so letting go of my beloved sweeteners was terrifying. Would I immediately gain 25 pounds? And what about all of the potatoes and bread? I've been avoiding those foods for decades? Instead, something miraculous happened. I began to lose weight. And lose, and lose and lose. Even though I went a little crazy with sugar for the first few months, I still kept losing. (And like someone working in an ice cream store, I soon lost my passion for sugar. I still have a sweet tooth, but it's more easily satisfied with safe fruits – and a little chocolate!) I think that letting go of chemical sweeteners was the key that unlocked my ability to lose weight. I am never hungry and my portions have slowly shrunk. My eyes are bigger than my appetite now – I still don't trust that such a small amount will satisfy me. But it does. Plus, I'm not on a diet – if I want more, I have more. As of this morning, I have lost 69 pounds – and it's still coming off. I'm losing more slowly now, but still about 2 pounds a month. I'm not in any hurry anymore. But this is my favorite part of eating this way: if I waiver or go off my eating plan – I get sick! It's great! I no longer have any choice but to eat this way. Talk about incentive. As I've lost, I've been able to walk again. My lower back pain from my IBS made walking almost impossible at my high weight. Now, I am able to walk my dog for up to 40 minutes, twice a day. I can't say I'll ever really like any form of exercise, but I can do it! And it's a key to more weight loss. Aside from eliminating foods from my daily eating plan, switching to the special teas and using the Tummy Tamers have been great helps when I do get attacks (rarely, but they still do occur – usually because I'm eating something I shouldn't.) All my life, I dreamed I'd find a solution to my weight. I knew it was there – I just had to find it. My dreams have come true. Thank you so much, Heather. I'm turning 55 in a few weeks, and I thought I'd be in a wheelchair by now. Instead, I have a healthy future ahead of me. Sincerely, Robin R. Laguna Woods, Ca | |

| My IBS story | |
| Heather, I certainly appreciate your newsletter and all your products. Living and working in community development in Peru for more three years, I have contracted a number of intestinal bacteria and parasites through my work in rural communities. I was prescribed numerous strong (broad spectrum) antibiotics to rid myself of the critters, which I believe eventually triggered my IBS symptoms. For over a year I thought I had parasites that couldn't be detected in a lab, as all my results came back negative. I had typical intestinal symptoms of gas, bloating and diarrea. I was feeling rather concerned untill I found your website, read your articles, bought your books, and started using your products. I have since changed my diet to reduce IBS triggers. I can now keep myself mostly symptom free through taking your products and watching my diet. I still have stress-related IBS symptoms at times, but at least I know what is causing them. Thank you for the good work you are doing to help people with IBS throughout the world. Kathleen PS: You may use my story if you want, as I'm sure there are other people living abroad that might have the same thing happen to them. I have already shared your website with a number of people here in Peru. | |

| Hi Heather - I am a nurse! | |
| Hi Heather, I am an RN, who works in a very busy GI practice and almost 60% of my patients have IBS. I just want to let you know that years ago I had IBS, the worst. I followed your books, IBS, The First Year, and eating for IBS and your web site, and believe it or not, after being faithful to it for about 2 years, my body seems to have less and less attacks , and now, for the past few years, I can count on one hand , how many I have had. I owe it all to you and your incredible knowledge about IBS. I can't tell you how many of my patients with IBS and are so frustrated and scared because they don't understand what is happening to them. Yes, they see the physician and they prescribe meds, and that seems to be about it, but then i take them aside and give them the name of your books and your web site, and encourge them all to get them and follow them exactly as you advise. I then tell them my story and how after a while, they can look forward to the fact that the attacks may go away, almost completely or be controlled, like myself. I have actually, finally, convinced many of the doctors in my practice to bring the patient to me ,when they are done, and let me speak to them about you. That took a while to happen. Doctors didn't seem to believe in it, but again, I am talking years and years ago and I just see it in the past 2 years , they seem to finally believe me now about your books. Back then, doctors just thought IBS was controlled only by controlling stresses and it is so much more than that. They would leave the pt feeling just as lost as when they came in . I feel like I am changing the way doctors ( at least in my practice ) just chuck it up to stress and there is nothing to do for it. Mostly, that has come to pass, by all the calls I get from my patients thanking me for telling them about you, and then when they see the doctor, they tell him about our talk and how I gave them such great advice about you. This is a good thing your doing and I will spend the rest of my medical career, telling my patients to buy your books and follow your advice, to the letter. I say this for myself and the hundreds of my patients, that have changed their lives and makes them less frightened when they see their belly grow. They now understand why, and that they are not dying or have cancer, and that there is help out there for them, and just more then some pills to take. It is so much more than that. I just wanted to thank you and let you know your doing an amazing job. I am very happy to have found you. I remember your website when you had a cooking demonstration video ,by you, on it. That was great. I will keep you updated on the successes of my patients. Sandra | |

| I do not have IBS - but I am chronically constipated | |
| Various doctors over the years have simply told me to eat more fiber, take various softners and fiber suppliments... none of which have ever done much for me. A nurse practitioner told my that I have a "hypotonic colon" so for whatever reason, my body takes out more water than it should. The past year has been very stressful for me, my problem flared up and I had been unable to bring it back under control as before. I eat mainly vegetarian anyways, drink plenty of water, walk my dog, do everything they say that you are supposed to do. A friend of mine with IBS told me about your site. I am now taking 24g of your Acacia Tummy Fiber every day and am happier with my gut than I have been in the past year. None of the fiber at stores has ever helped, I have never been able to take this amount without extreme gassiness. Your fiber is organic, doesn't gas me up and it works. I love it, it has changed my life. I can now eat the occasional bit of cheese while out with friends, eat a hamburger on occasion, basically feel like a normal person again. (Nothing in excess mind you, but enough). Thank you so very much. | |

| Dear Heather, I love your book and my family is really enjoying your recipes | |
| I am looking forward to your cooking show and your holiday cookbook. I've had IBS since December but it seems like forever. I have four children, who I have always put ahead of myself and I haven't been able to take care of them very well since my illness. Your book has taught me that in order for me to take care of my family, I have to take care of myself first. Thank you so much for writing Eating for IBS. I have been to 6 doctors and have been very discouraged. Because of your book, I now am hopeful that it is possible for me to feel normal again. I have already written to the Oprah show and I will write to others. Thanks again and please keep writing new recipes! UPDATE: I have been using your recipes from Eating for IBS for almost 2 months now and I am almost completely off medications. I take just a Levsin occasionally. Though I still don't feel like I used to, I am much better than was. Do you have any other books out yet? I am looking forward to learning some "safe" holiday recipes!. I am telling everyone I know about the book! | |

| So sorry to hear you too have had this deplorable problem. I too never thought that there were so many people with this same IBS. Thank you so much for your input. I tried your simple directions, and poof........ no pain, for 2 days. This is remarkable. I purchased your Starter Kit with the Acacia - can't live without it. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. I have to tell you that I never thought I would be without pain. I have had this problem since I was born, and no one knew what it was. Unfortunately, doctors don't always know what is best. Medication only hinders and masks the true problems. Just your simple information has given me a wealth of pain free days. I plan to spend lots of time enjoying your products and great recipes and valued information. | |

| My son and IBS | |
| Heather, I just wanted to say "THANK YOU" and God Bless you and your website. It has saved my son. He was diagnosed with IBS last year at Mayo Clinic. We have been battling his stomach pains for years. The first time he went to the doctor for the pains and an embarrassing accident on prom night he was told that he was "just hungry". I don't think I have ever been so upset and mad in my life! He was 16 at the time and is over 6 ft tall, very slender build. He ate continually. But was told he was "just hungry". We also went through the "it's all in his head" ordeal. I have never felt so helpless and scared. They finally sent him to the Mayo Clinic where he was diagnosed as having IBS after many appointments and tests. I was happy that we finally knew what was going on with him. But he was still having the stomach pains and the disappointment that we felt even though we were feeding him what they told us to. After the last attack and ER visit I went on line to try and find some answers. I found your website. I found out more information from your website than what Mayo Clinic ever told us. He is now on the soluable fiber, peppermint pills, peppermint tea, no red meat. He came up to me one day and was crying and told me that he hasn't felt this good in years. We are still in the "trial and error" stage, but at least know where the limits lie. We are eating a lot of chicken and turkey and are staying away from the fried, greasy foods. McDonald's lost one of their best customers. Every now and then he gets pains but that is caused from him not eating, or getting enough rest. I have a friend whose 17 year old daughter has been diagnosed with IBS, I sent your books home with her and when she brought them back, she said they had gone and bought them and in just a couple of weeks could not believe the difference. So Heather, thank you, thank you, thank you. You have touched so many peoples lives with your website and books. I was afraid that my son was getting so frustrated with the pain and no one believing him that he might have done something rash. But he is finally feeling good after so many years. I thank God for you and for your website. God Bless You!!! Karma N. Austin, MN | |

| First Year Book, the Tummy Care supplements and now acupuncture have helped so much. | |
| I fired my regular doctors, all the pills they would give me made me worse. It is sad to say, because I am a nurse and work in the medical field, how bad Western medicine treats this issue. I have met so many people who have been diagnosed with this and are unaware of the help that is out there. People who know me told other people at work this isn't the real Tawny. After firing my doctors and getting off their medication and following your program and acupuncture finally this week a co-worker said, "Now, that is the 'real Tawny', she is back!" Not at 100% but on my way! I just wish everyone who suffers from this would find out there is help. But you have to find it yourself, doctors have no idea how to help. When I would bring up your book they would just blow me off! I see them in the hospital once in awhile, nursing pays my bills but I encourage patients to learn about whatever illness they have. The more educated one is about their illness the better they are. People need advocates, especially when they are ill and they don't have the energy to go look for it. Thank God for the internet, because while I was at home ill I spent time researching this and found you! Sorry to go on for so long, reading your story and learning this new way I wish I had learned 25 years ago when I was first diagnosed with it. Instead my life has been a fog, and somehow I have managed to survive. I am hoping my children will see how much diet affects one's life and how important the whole person (mind, body and spirit) affect your health. I just can't thank you enough! Even my sister in Japan who I sent your book to is doing better, and she suffers from this as well as lupus. God Bless! | |

Her problems were so severe that she was having to take cortisone enemas(!) and they weren't helping.

| Life Changing! | |
| I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I have been an IBS sufferer for many years. I am now 45 years old and have been faithfully following Heather's advise for the past 12 months and what a difference. I used to think that suffering with debilitating cramps and having to make excuses for not traveling too far from a washroom facility was going to be a part of my life forever. Boy was I wrong. By doing a search on the internet I found this website and I immediately went out and bought the book "Eating for IBS". This book has changed my life. Not only is my wife much happier as I now do a large amount of the cooking and trying new recipes, but I have my life back with no worries about suffering an attack whatsoever. I can't express how much this has changed the way I live my life on a day to day basis. Not only do I feel much better, but I've lost 30 lbs as an added bonus. I have taken up running (something which I wouldn't even attempt in the past) and recently completed my first 5km run…and came in 6th. My family and friends have noticed a huge difference in my attitude and my physical appearance and I owe it all to that day where I decided to take my life back and visited your website for the first time. I have come across quite a few people in the past year who also suffer from IBS, and I've steered them to your book and your website. I suffered in silence because I thought I was one of a very few that had this syndrome, but have since come to find out that there are many more just like me. Thanks again, By all means go ahead and use my comments. It's funny how many people I've run into in the last year that have IBS and are afraid to talk about it. I refer them to your website and your book and of course I'm living proof that there is help for IBS. I owe you and your book a great deal of gratitude and I know my family would say a huge THANK YOU as well…as the change in my life has meant a whole new attitude that they have noticed in a big way. Take Care and keep up the good work. Duane B. | |

| Dear Heather: this morning, I went to see my gastroenterologist | |
| Dr. Dean Rider from UCSF (University of CA, San Francisco). He has always been nice and supportive, but he was pretty helpless regarding my horrible IBS symptoms. I always thought my IBS is psychosomatic myself but when I was so happy last year and my stomach was convulsing I finally had enough. That's when I did a search and found your website. I wanted to talk to Dr. Rider in person: I told him (as you know from my previous e-mail) how much better I am and that after 2 days using your diet my symptoms went from a constant 7 (scale from 1-10) with outbreaks on top of it and waking up during the night to a constant 2-3. AFTER 2 DAYS!!! He could not believe it. So I told him he needs to tell all his IBS patients about your website. And he has lots of them because he is a gastroenterologist. And they drive him nuts because he doesn't know what to do with them. He told me when he does colonoscopies he can tell whether someone has IBS because their guts spasm like crazy upon touch. The office assistant told me she has "crying IBS patients" that ask her what to eat all the time and she doesn't know what to say. She urged me to send her a fax today because of a particular patient that came in crying yesterday that she could not help. I faxed the basics from your website (soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, gastrocolic reflex) including the IBS Cheat Sheet over to them. I also gave Dr. Rider the website address, told him about fiber supplements and showed him the peppermint capsules. I hope it helps that I am a physician (neurologist) so that they listen and lots of people get better. THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING - YOU ARE AWESOME - AND YOU CHANGED MY LIFE.

| Dear Heather, If I only had the adequate words to express my feelings for you and what you've done for me | |
| You did not give me my life back. You GAVE me A LIFE.......a life I've never, ever known. Sick is a word that cannot encompass my world of torment and pain. I've been afflicted with this problem since I was 5 years old (IBS-D), I am now in my 40's. My entire life, sometimes up to 3 times a week, suffering with crippling spasms for never ending hours upon hours. The excruciating spasms are what I find the most horrifying thing I have to live with. Vomiting from pain, pouring sweat, trying endlessly to get home as soon as I feel the very first inkling of a spasm. I honest to God, have always felt like I was going to die. I would simply dread every occasion, holiday, or even planning a vacation a year from now. I cannot live where I'd like to because any distance at all from my job, is too far when an attack is coming over me. My best case scenario would have been setting up a cot next to my desk. I can't even imagine how I still have a job. The humiliation of explaining my situation to every boss, boyfriend/husband and girlfriend is something I just can't seem to get used to because no one gets it. Basically they all have that same uncomfortable expression on their face (like, are we finished talking about this freaky subject yet?) Occasionally, some people would even say to me "Oh yea, I get cramps too when I have to go to the bathroom." I would become infuriated saying, NO, that is not what this is! I feel like I'm in labor pain! I'd say, "How would you like to feel like you're having a baby every week?" I don't know, it all just feels so much worse then those three letters... I-B-S. To top it off, I have a form of endometriosis. This is a very grim picture of a life. So.... in a constant state of depression, the doctors, who by the way, all acknowledged that it was IBS, told me it was nerves, nerves, nerves. That was the cause, period, amen. It's true. My whole family are totally nervous worriers and we all have the same condition although mine is the most severe of all of us (is this inherited?), so I really never thought for a minute, that the food I ate was antagonizing an already chronically inflamed colon. I didn't want to write you until I really felt absolutely certain of myself. It's been an extraordinary, unbelievable, incredible, UNTHINKABLE 7 months since my last attack!!! I feel like I'm dreaming. I keep standing in front of my calendar, counting, counting. I'm obsessed with counting the days. This can't be happening - - - can it??? My family keeps calling me asking, Still, STILL??? Doctor, after test, after pill and along comes Heather and Acacia. You should win the noble prize for that alone! I would scream it out to the entire world if I could, Acacia, Acacia, Acacia. There is no other word for it but... Miracle. You are my miracle. Finding you, is the single best thing that will ever happen to me in my entire life and I thank God for you. I now walk up and down my floor at work, watching people, listening to them talking, ordering food, laughing, smiling, all with no hint of worry or trace of fear and I say..... My God..... so this is what it feels like? A way of life and a feeling of peace I've never known before. A life that people take for granted. I make your delicious breads and eat it everyday for breakfast but quite honestly, I only eat turkey for lunch at work right now because it really agrees with me and I'm still fearful but I'm sure that very soon, as I become more confident I will be branching out. Aside from the 3 tablespoons of the Acacia everyday, I also take your peppermint caps and one probiotic, recommended by a friend's Doctor. Maybe you can advise me if it's even worth taking. I'm still working on acquiring a taste for the fennel tea. Heather, I'll love you with all my heart until the day I die. ( I can't have any children but I swear, my next kitty is going to be called "Heather") I'm Serious! If I didn't think it would traumatize my little Mia, I'd rename her now. (teehee.

| 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 P. | |

| Please accept my thanks for this book! | |
| Dear Heather, I want to extend my deepest thanks to you and your truly humanitarian efforts. I have suffered from GI problems my entire life, but my symptoms have gradually been getting worse with age. About a year and a half ago, a medical professional suggested that I may have IBS. I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't know what it was, so I immediately looked online for information and stumbled upon your site. It was very clear that you are the premier source for everything related to digestive disorders. Without delay, I subscribed to your newsletters and purchased your products, including "Eating for IBS." However, I did not really "do" anything about the IBS because I had yet to be officially diagnosed. I went through all of the required medical testing, where everything else was ruled out. All that was left was a visit to a gastroenterologist for confirmation. A year after the IBS was first suggested to me, I received the official diagnosis from the doctor. And yet I still resisted implementing your program. Believe it or not, it sounded too unbelievably easy to actually be true! Now, 2009 was a very busy year for me: I went through 5 surgical procedures, one of which was abdominal. These surgeries (especially the abdominal one) greatly aggravated my symptoms. There wasn't a single moment of any day for months that I was not bloated and in pain. Enough was enough and I finally broke down and began to "Eat for IBS." Much to my astonishment, it actually worked! Within 1-2 weeks of following your IBS dietary guidelines, my bloating subsided, my pain was gone, and I actually felt like a person with a normal gut (a little side benefit is that I lost 10 lbs., which I needed to lose). Thanks to you, I am armed with a veritable cornucopia of not only delicious recipes, but also the knowledge to easily modify my favorite recipes with "safe" substitutes. And, unless I "stray," I remain virtually symptom-free. It's pretty easy to say "no" to trigger foods when you feel so good walking the safe path. But, the true test for me was a long trip over Thanksgiving. Over the past few years, traveling has been a nightmare filled with pain, bloating, and intestines that decided to go on strike and just shut down production completely. However, I can proudly say that, food-wise, this was the easiest trip in many, many years where I felt great and remained "regular" (which is really shocking). So, Heather, please accept my heartfelt gratitude. You are not just any vendor. You are a person filled with compassion who works tirelessly to ease the suffering of so many afflicted individuals. You have truly saved me from a life of suffering. With sincere thanks, Karin D. | |

| So Thankful to You | |
| Dear Heather, I hope this is the correct email address to send you a personal note of thanks. I suffered from innumerable stomach complaints all through my childhood, but IBS was never diagnosed. When I was in my early twenties, my internist told me I had "spastic colon" due to stress, and she prescribed anti-spasmodic pills to take at the onset of pain. I never knew, though, when that would be, and by the time I felt pain and took a pill, it was too late to do any good. I soon stopped taking the pills. I suffered for years and years and years until I stumbled upon your site. (I am now 47.) I cannot begin to tell you how extremely thankful I am to you. Changing my diet—changing the order in which I eat foods—has been a lifesaver. I never, ever would have discovered that on my own. I was a little hesitant at first and showed your suggestions to my (different) internist. He had me check it out with a registered dietician at our local hospital. She gave me the "okay" to start my new diet using your "Cheat Sheet" guidelines. Gone are the days that I would be driving, miles from a bathroom, and would experience immediate, excruciating, cramping pain that would come in spasms that I knew could only be relieved by diarrhea. I would try to drive as doubled over with pain as I was. I cannot begin to tell you how miserable I was. I never knew when it would hit me or where I would be, and so I lived in a lot of fear of doing things out in public. Because I would have diarrhea almost every day, I was always making sure I knew where the closest bathroom was located. I wonder sometimes how many nutrients my body was actually able to absorb with all that diarrhea. Ever since I found your site (about two years ago) and followed your advice, I have been "normal." It is an incredible feeling. I can't believe people who don't have IBS actually live this way every day. I am beginning to take a "normal" stomach for granted, and I know I shouldn't given my past history. You have made it possible for me to do things in public again without the nagging fear that I may have to make a beeline for a bathroom with unbearable pain and diarrhea. I am so absolutely indebted to you. You really changed/saved my life Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Sincerely, Ellen O. | |
