Yes, I'm stable - or within spitting distance, anyhow. I stick with Heather's plan because for me it's worked - worked miraculously, really.
I am NOT telling you what you should do - only you can decide what the right path is for you. However, I'm not kidding either. I think Heather's a super-neat lady, but if her suggestions didn't help my IBS, I wouldn't have kept eating this way. The added health benefits, like lower cholesterol, are wonderful, but they wouldn't be enough to keep my diet even as restricted as she suggests if my IBS wasn't improved. And I certainly wouldn't be willing to restrict my diet as much as you do if I wasn't getting any relief at all.
I'm sorry if I spoke out of turn, but it sort of popped out when I read your post. Feel free to ignore me - and I'll shut up now.
