The digestive processes is quite well understood. It is the cause of IBS that is still unclear. Saying that starches should not be eaten with meat is like saying the world is flat not round. Experience and science tells us otherwise. Oh well - I guess it takes all kinds to make a world.

Do say it too loudly - it will cause a stir. Heather has been working hard along with many other knowledgeable people to lay this terrible myth to rest as witnessed by one the latest additions to the library Irritable Bowel Syndrome Is Not In Your Head .

With all the misinformation about IBS floating around we don't need to muddy the waters with diets that have been laid to rest by more knowledgeable individuals than us
