Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi Tom, I was diagnois by the Doctors as having IBS when everything else they wanted to test for was ruled out by sufficient test, crohns, UC, gluten intolerence, etc. I did try HVV diet purchasing numerous items through her and continued to get much worse. I have also did the O Positve diet (my blood type) and spent an enormous amount of money on supplements and drugs the Doctors wanted me to try. Getting desperate that nothing was working, I kept researching and happened upon BTVC. I have been on the diet since September, 2006. I have made a tremendous amount of progress.In 2006 I was at the point where I couldn't work some days (I was only part time) and my boss would see how bad it was for me and allow me to go home. I couldn't do social events with the stress adding to my problems. Now days I go out and enjoy myself socializing and continue to get better. I don't feel I am at the point where I could add illegals back in just yet, but I am looking forward to the day I don't have to be quite so strict and still be able to have good health. Maybe I have been diagnois wrong with the IBS. I myself feel I have candida yeast to deal with, but My Doctor won't even consider that idea. So, I continue with " SCD diet " because it works for me!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi Tom, before I finally found SCD, I tried 's approach. It might work for some people. However, it made my IBS symptoms much worse. With SCD, I'm doing great. No more D.

HVV appears to endorse lots of things BTVC makes illegal (starches, In particular) and argue against some staple of BTVC, such as fat, red meat, dairy, etc. I was surprised, and a bit dismayed, there could be that much disagreement. Is IBS different enough from UC or CD that it would warrant such a different approach? In the BTVC foreward, Dr Hoffman seems to reject such a difference, but I'm curious if anyone else has tried the HVV diet? thanks!

It appeared to help -- I thought I did better with whole wheat pasta and brown rice. Then things went downhill again in a hurry.
