I'm going through testing for IBS; pretty certain of the diagnosis; right now have started the supplements (this last weekend) things are improving but I just was curious what period of time it takes to stabilize. Still have a few problems, but nearly what they were. Ordered the cookbook and look forward to some good recipes (I love to eat!) Am so happy to have found this site!

I'm an A- thought I was stable in about 2-3 weeks but wasn't as far gone as some of the people here either... and then we had the fire, now I'm out of control again, but hopeflly with a few weeks I'll be back in control for the most part...

I think some of it depends on what you want to consider "stable". I've been on the diet since the end of May, and I don't consider myself stable yet. I'm technically an A, I guess, but I was mostly D; the D stopped after a few weeks on the diet. If you're mostly a C, you'll probably take longer than that to really see consistent results. But stick with it and you'll feel better!

Welcome so much!! I'm so glad you found us and so glad to hear that things are improving. As the others said, it really depends, but some people see a dramatic improvement in only two or three days, for others it takes months. I'd say the average is a few weeks to start feeling "stable". Good luck and keep coming back!!

Thank you! I am a D - Today is one the best days I have had in awhile. Also slept through the night. Been really adhering to the food thing - ate at a restaurant last nite, ordered chicken (no skin) ate a very small portion and with the exception of a little cramping, felt good. This is my first week on the supplements. I've also ordered the tummy teas. Are they good?
