I'm sorry if I offended you. That was not my intention and I hoped I had made that clear in my closing paragraph. I have no problem with alternate approaches and new ideas. My concern was that, since there are people on the Boards who are new to Heather's diet, it was important to point out that your approach contradicted Heather's in some important areas.
I have felt for a while that the Diet Board seems to moving away from being a support group for Heather's Diet and more toward being a general IBS support Board. Frankly, I've been uncomfortable with that move and have tried to provide a counterweight. Perhaps it's time for me to stop swimming against the tide.
I'm glad you've found help from your naturopath and hope your generosity in sharing what you've learned helps others who are still struggling, especially those who, like Augie, have been trying for so long.
