"Hi, just wanted to let you know I bought your book a few weeks ago, and I carry it around like my little bible now. I bought a copy for my sister for her birthday, and we're ready to spread the word. It's such a great help, really, and all so logical. Thanks for having the energy and enthusiasm to write such a great cookbook for those of us with such touchy tummies."

Karen Baker, IBS Sufferer



"Heather, My girlfriend and I both have IBS. We are in our mid 30's and started having signs in college. We recently stumbled on to your book. Wow, it's great!!!! I want to thank you so much for this wonderful book. We are both purchasing it. You are our guru! So many people are "plagued" with IBS. But many don't understand...thanks again!!!!!"

Holly, IBS Sufferer



"Hi Heather! I promised myself if I didn't get anything else done today I would write you again and say thank you......although thank you doesn't begin to say it. My other goal for today is to re-read your book again (third time). I have had IBS for almost 30 years and was not diagnosed correctly till last year when I was finally hospitalized for a week and went through every test known to man. I kept telling them I thought it was IBS. It was only when they had no other answers they agreed with me. WOW modern medicine! I changed physicians and my new female doctor was willing to listen and learn what she could about this problem. I too had gotten to the point I was terrified to go out to dinner and even missed many days of work because of it. I also own and operate my own business, and I am away from home on the road a great deal of time and this was ruining my life. Notice I said WAS........I cannot believe just what less than one week has done to change my life thanks to you and your book! You can quote me anywhere you want. I know this sounds gross but I think you will understand but this is the first time in 30 years I have had ONE normal bowel movement a day. Last night I got brave and my husband took me out to dinner and I wasn't scared! We had a nice dinner and didn't rush home................I was fine! I still can't believe these few changes have made such a HUGE DIFFERENCE already! I am reading the book again making more notes before I shop tomorrow and I learn something helpful every time I pick up the book. I have ordered a couple more books and have made an appointment with my doctor and I am going to take her the book and one to my library. What a blessing this book is. I can't begin to tell you what a physical, mental and most important emotional difference these last days have made in my life! Thank you again and I hope you will continue to bless others lives and change them for the better as you have done to mine. Thanks again!"

Barbara Lannin, IBS Sufferer



"Dear Heather, Thank you so much for your book and website. I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease 6 years ago after an emergency surgery that removed part of my small intestine. Since then it has always been a struggle to figure out what to eat. Recently I decided I needed to overhaul my diet and went looking for cookbooks that might help. I was poking around the library looking for information on yoga (another big help in controlling this disease) and happened to find your book. I immediately went home and made an Italian Lemon Tuna Sandwich. Now my energy and overall health have increased and my doctor and I have made the decision to go it without medication. For my next appointment with him I will be bringing your book and website address along. I will also be writing to the talk show ladies about your diet ASAP. Thank you again."

Elizabeth Bolster, Crohn's Sufferer



"I've tried your book and have had wonderful results. I'm anxious to try your new recipes that will be available in coming books and on your cooking show. In my book, you are only one step below God. I was so miserable for so long I had forgotten what it was like to feel normal again. Keep on writing. I will buy every book you ever publish. I'm only 29 so I have a long life of eating ahead of me and I love your recipes! I would love it if you got on talk shows, and the more I talk to people the more your book sales are going to go up. I already submitted the idea to the Oprah show. I'm going to send a copy of your book and my testimonial to all the doctors who have "dumped me" when they didn't know what to do anymore. It is just a matter of time. Angels get stepped on a lot before they get a chance to really fly. You are an angel and don't ever give up. People need you! Your word is spreading. In the meantime, thanks for everything. I feel so lucky there are people like you in my corner. Thanks a million! I'm very confident I've found my answer. May God bless you and thanks so much."

Lynne Lipper, IBS Sufferer



"Heather, I recently purchased your book. I have just been diagnosed with IBS, and your book is such a wonderful help. I must have had IBS for years without realizing what it was; it's just increased in intensity in the last year or so. You have validated many of the strategies that I came upon by trial and error and just being in tune with my body. And you have given me so much more to help with this ailment. I would be interested in any workshops you are putting on in the Puget Sound area. Sincerely,"

Iris Hurwitz, IBS Sufferer



"Heather, I know you probably get a million of these messages a day. However, I felt the need to write and say thanks. Your description of the symptoms of IBS were me exactly. I do not personally know anyone else who has IBS or who understands what it is really like. The diet will be a great change but I hit it running and I feel better already. Yes, I know, it's only two days into it but I'm telling you it makes a difference. Thanks."

Mike Gumz, IBS Sufferer



"Thank you so much for this wonderful book! I am just 16, and have had IBS since I was 12, although it was just recently diagnosed. I have searched many many book stores looking for it, as someone had recommended it to me awhile ago. I finally found it and WOW! I really felt like it was me that was doing the writing because everything you said was so much like what I am going through. I love to cook, but unfortunately often can't eat the things I make....well now I will be able to! It's a relief to know that there are still wonderful things I can eat, without the worry of having an attack! I am so surprised that there are so many people suffering from IBS. I felt like I was the only one. Is there any way that I can get in touch with some of the other sufferers? It would be just another great comfort and way to deal with this. Again thank you so much, you have literally saved my life!"

Monica Jimeno, IBS Sufferer



"Your book is a blessing. The simple, straight-forward "talk" did the trick for me. I got my IBS under control. That may not sound true after so much ttrial-and-error and all the material I've read, but it is. Thank you."

"Dear Heather, We just found out that our son has IBS. He is very scared and upset. He is ten years old. Unknown to my husband and me his problem has gone on for a couple of years. He did not want to tell us. We feel like the worst parents in the world. Our doctor suggested your web site and book. Thank you so much for this book. Now my son knows he is not alone. Thanks again,"

Stacy and Robert Wright, parents of IBS Sufferer



"Heather, I think your cookbook is fabulous!! The recipes are delicious and easy to use. You are a life-saver for all IBS survivors! Sincerely,"

Allison, IBS Sufferer



"Thanks, Heather! I can't believe how much better I feel now that I'm watching my diet and exercising. I'm having so much fun at the health food and regular grocery stores, and reading all the labels! You're an angel sent to me."
