| I felt cheated when my package arrived as it did not have all the items specified in the $53 order. I called customer service and they denied my claim. This material is not geared to IBSc patients and I found the fiber samples I took were no different in texture and composition than some over the counter products. I sent the entire package back and have a very poor opinion of helpforibs.com. The dietary guidelines were very general and not much more helpful than what we get from our doctors.

| My first order | |
| By the time I was on the tenth page of "First Year with IBS" I was ready to cry. Finally, someone who could relate to the blinding pain I'm experiencing on a daily basis. I have been given more information on my "syndrome" from these two books than I ever got from my GP or Gastroenterologist who just said "eat more fibre". I'm so grateful for this site. I've been combining the tummy fibre, the new knowledge I now have and a product call IBS-Plex (peppermint, marshmallow root & L Glutamine) and for the first time in 2 years I haven't had an attack in 2 whole weeks. Granted I've had an attack every day for the last 4 days but I'm attributing that to the stress of my father having a heart attack last week. Otherwise, I'm thrilled to know I'm not the only suffering from this, but given how prevalent it is, I'm shocked at the lack of attention from doctors and scientists. Thank you Heather, you've given me hope at a time when I was ready to put a bullet in my head to stop the pain. | |

| My Weightloss Story | |
| Hi Heather - My life has completely changed in the past 18 months since I found your website. I was in agony with I went online, searching for help. And I immediately found it. Not knowing what to eat to stop my pain, I found a simple answer on your website – and it worked. Just eating a small bowl of plain oatmeal began to relax all of my spasms. I immediately bought both of your books and within days I'd eliminated all of the recommended foods. The biggest challenge was letting go of artificial sweeteners. I was frightened to eat sugar again. I've been fat all of my life despite my total devotion to whatever diet I was on. I never cheated – often for up to a year. But I never could lose more than 25 pounds. I was at my heaviest – 150 pounds over my "ideal" weight and considering surgery - so letting go of my beloved sweeteners was terrifying. Would I immediately gain 25 pounds? And what about all of the potatoes and bread? I've been avoiding those foods for decades? Instead, something miraculous happened. I began to lose weight. And lose, and lose and lose. Even though I went a little crazy with sugar for the first few months, I still kept losing. (And like someone working in an ice cream store, I soon lost my passion for sugar. I still have a sweet tooth, but it's more easily satisfied with safe fruits – and a little chocolate!) I think that letting go of chemical sweeteners was the key that unlocked my ability to lose weight. I am never hungry and my portions have slowly shrunk. My eyes are bigger than my appetite now – I still don't trust that such a small amount will satisfy me. But it does. Plus, I'm not on a diet – if I want more, I have more. As of this morning, I have lost 69 pounds – and it's still coming off. I'm losing more slowly now, but still about 2 pounds a month. I'm not in any hurry anymore. But this is my favorite part of eating this way: if I waiver or go off my eating plan – I get sick! It's great! I no longer have any choice but to eat this way. Talk about incentive. As I've lost, I've been able to walk again. My lower back pain from my IBS made walking almost impossible at my high weight. Now, I am able to walk my dog for up to 40 minutes, twice a day. I can't say I'll ever really like any form of exercise, but I can do it! And it's a key to more weight loss. Aside from eliminating foods from my daily eating plan, switching to the special teas and using the Tummy Tamers have been great helps when I do get attacks (rarely, but they still do occur – usually because I'm eating something I shouldn't.) All my life, I dreamed I'd find a solution to my weight. I knew it was there – I just had to find it. My dreams have come true. Thank you so much, Heather. I'm turning 55 in a few weeks, and I thought I'd be in a wheelchair by now. Instead, I have a healthy future ahead of me. Sincerely, Robin R. Laguna Woods, Ca | |

| My IBS story | |
| Heather, I certainly appreciate your newsletter and all your products. Living and working in community development in Peru for more three years, I have contracted a number of intestinal bacteria and parasites through my work in rural communities. I was prescribed numerous strong (broad spectrum) antibiotics to rid myself of the critters, which I believe eventually triggered my IBS symptoms. For over a year I thought I had parasites that couldn't be detected in a lab, as all my results came back negative. I had typical intestinal symptoms of gas, bloating and diarrea. I was feeling rather concerned untill I found your website, read your articles, bought your books, and started using your products. I have since changed my diet to reduce IBS triggers. I can now keep myself mostly symptom free through taking your products and watching my diet. I still have stress-related IBS symptoms at times, but at least I know what is causing them. Thank you for the good work you are doing to help people with IBS throughout the world. Kathleen PS: You may use my story if you want, as I'm sure there are other people living abroad that might have the same thing happen to them. I have already shared your website with a number of people here in Peru. | |

| How thankful I am for your IBS diet and products | |
| Hi Heather! I'm not sure if this is the right place to email you, but I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am for your IBS diet and products. I'm fourteen years old, and have had IBS to some degree ever since I was six years old (after a recurrent C.diff infection). When I was eleven I got recurrent C.diff again, this time a much more resistant strain. It took over six months to get rid of the infection, and by then my colon had basically "had it"! I was in constant pain for a long time, and finally one morning I just broke down; I couldn't take it anymore. I prayed asked God if he could please, please take the pain away, or show me something I could do or take to help it. That very night I found your website! :) Now I have both of your IBS books, I follow the IBS diet very carefully, and I take peppermint capsules and Tummy Fiber. I'm doing so much better! I only have episodes of pain or diarrhea/constipation every few days, and even then they're very mild. Thank you thank you thank you for sharing your strategies with the world Heather – they have helped so many people so much! J Sarah M. PS – My little sister with chronic diarrhea has also found almost complete relief with your diet. | |

| My son and IBS | |
| Heather, I just wanted to say "THANK YOU" and God Bless you and your website. It has saved my son. He was diagnosed with IBS last year at Mayo Clinic. We have been battling his stomach pains for years. The first time he went to the doctor for the pains and an embarrassing accident on prom night he was told that he was "just hungry". I don't think I have ever been so upset and mad in my life! He was 16 at the time and is over 6 ft tall, very slender build. He ate continually. But was told he was "just hungry". We also went through the "it's all in his head" ordeal. I have never felt so helpless and scared. They finally sent him to the Mayo Clinic where he was diagnosed as having IBS after many appointments and tests. I was happy that we finally knew what was going on with him. But he was still having the stomach pains and the disappointment that we felt even though we were feeding him what they told us to. After the last attack and ER visit I went on line to try and find some answers. I found your website. I found out more information from your website than what Mayo Clinic ever told us. He is now on the soluable fiber, peppermint pills, peppermint tea, no red meat. He came up to me one day and was crying and told me that he hasn't felt this good in years. We are still in the "trial and error" stage, but at least know where the limits lie. We are eating a lot of chicken and turkey and are staying away from the fried, greasy foods. McDonald's lost one of their best customers. Every now and then he gets pains but that is caused from him not eating, or getting enough rest. I have a friend whose 17 year old daughter has been diagnosed with IBS, I sent your books home with her and when she brought them back, she said they had gone and bought them and in just a couple of weeks could not believe the difference. So Heather, thank you, thank you, thank you. You have touched so many peoples lives with your website and books. I was afraid that my son was getting so frustrated with the pain and no one believing him that he might have done something rash. But he is finally feeling good after so many years. I thank God for you and for your website. God Bless You!!! Karma N. Austin, MN | |
