"THANK YOU for your book, I had a wonderful vacation, the first in 8 years, by following some of your suggestions. Again, thank you so much! You are a Godsend!"

Mrs. Thomas Bickel, IBS Sufferer



"Dear Heather, Thank you so much for your book about IBS. For about 20 years, I have suffered with IBS. Three years ago, I realized I have IBS while searching for something to improve my health. It improved after consistently using digestive enzymes and Barley Green, and eating a low fat diet. Still I continued to have attacks. It was not until I read your book ,Eating For IBS, that I realized that I was still eating some of the trigger foods (that I thought were safe). Once I used your diet suggestions, I quit having attacks. For a change, I feel well. I can actually tell now when I have eaten something I shouldn't. What an answer to prayer this diet has been! Again, thank you for sharing this wonderful information with others. Sincerely,"

Debra McIntosh, IBS Sufferer



"Dear Heather, I just got your book! Yeah! My 18 year old daughter just got home from school (local college), saw your picture on the back of the book and said that you were "beautiful". I told her that I have been emailing with you and how helpful and kind you have been. She said, "Well, email her back and tell her how beautiful she is!" So, I am . And she's right. Thanks so much for your latest email. Again, very helpful! You give me such hope that I can beat this. Looking forward to wowing my family with your recipes. (I'll tell them after their complements)! Very Fondly,"

Jane Swanson, IBS Sufferer



"Dear Heather, I purchased your book at Borders in Framingham, MA in July. I have had IBS for 9 years. I had been to five doctors, but none had helped me at all. I followed the instructions in your book & I have been symptom-free for seven weeks. No doctor ever mentioned the triggers from fat, or especially going too long without eating. I used to not eat all day & then eat a salad because I thought it was light & then my tummy would be in pain & I could not understand it. It took 3 doctors to get a diagnosis & then I never got any tips. I wasted money on hypnotists & biofeedback. My job is hard for IBS because I work for the telephone company & I am on the road all day. Thank you for helping me. Just wanted to let you know I wrote both the Today show and the Oprah Winfrey Show suggesting your book as a topic. Best Wishes,"

Jimmy, IBS Sufferer



"Dear Heather, I am a Senior Radiographer at the Cancer Centre in Birmingham, England. When it is necessary to irradiate pelvic fields on patients, we commonly cause radiation enteritis leading to a short-term (about 2 weeks), transient episodes of diarrhoea. The purchase of your 'Eating for IBS' book has been a great help, especially the more theoretical sections towards the front and the recipes that we've tried have been excellent! I have also recommended your book to several patients with radiation enteritis and a couple of friends with food intolerances and have all found it very useful. Yours sincerely,"

"Heather, Thanks for a great book! That advice on soluble fiber!!!!! Last year I had an IBS attack almost every single day starting in June, complete with diarrhea, cramps like knives eviscerating me, panic attacks, vomiting. This year? Maybe THREE TIMES! This concept has saved my sanity, and that's a fact. My oatmeal for breakfast every single day of the year, just about, makes a large difference in my digestive health. Any meal after that starts with soluble fiber of some sort, too! Thanks for the book!"

Melissa, IBS Sufferer



"Dear Heather, You have given new hope and meaning to life for my 14 year old son who has been suffering for 7 years with IBS. This past summer the pain and anguish became unbearable. He has had every test imaginable in an effort to diagnose his terrible problem. Finally it was suggested that he had IBS and that there was nothing that could be done for him. He was told to stop eating the things that bothered him. He practically stopped eating altogether because everything caused him such excruciating pain. He didn't want to leave the house and was worried about starting high school. I searched the net, desperate for help and found your book. When we read your introduction we cried. Finally someone that had the same story and could help us. Thank you for all your dedication and hard work. It it very important that you get your message out there to everyone with IBS. Your book is wonderful! We are all going to be healthier for it. My son can begin to be a normal teenager again and for that I am truly grateful. I can enjoy eating again myself. How can a mother enjoy food when her child cannot? Thank you, Heather. Sincerely,"

Veronica Clarke-Hanik, Mother of an IBS Sufferer
