Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 My doctor and I have decided it is time to abandon the diet. (Don't worry, he's an md but also holistic and a believer in the diet. Uses it for autism as well.) It has been 4 months and I've actually got worse. While I am sure that I will still have dietary needs to follow that have yet to be determined, we've decided to take a medicine approach. I have an incredible amount of anxiety which seems to dramatically increase my symptoms. Example: I don't really have to use the bathroom until I know I am leaving the house. Stopped at a stoplight with traffic all around and I can't pull over to use the potty in my truck. Things like that. I had also tried eliminating certain foods that might have been a cause - yogurt, cheese, honey, raw fruits etc... I gave it a good go - my best shot. He is thinking more in terms that IBS is my trouble and we are going to try Librax along with Xanax when needed. I'm also on a supplement to help with the slight Candida excess that was reported on my stool test - along with continuing my 6 month script of diflucan. I will also continue with the 24 hour yogurt and I don't mind that at all. I'm very optimistic! Of course results are yet to be seen, but I just thought I would share this in case anyone might find it useful. I guess part of the reason for my post is that I've quite often felt like I wasn't doing something right on this diet and why wasn't it working for me. I just want to get the message out there that while it is AWESOME if the diet works for you - it is okay if it doesn't. You just have to try something else! Never quit trying!
