Hi All,
I too used to suffer with IBS or so the doctor told me. Now on Atkins it has disappeared. I came off Atkins for a couple of months (never again), but found my IBS did not return. Why? I believe it is because I did not re-introduce milk back into my diet during my Atkins relapse. Basically, I have now come to the conclusion that I am lactose intolerant. To be truthful I didn’t believe the doctor’s IBS diagnosis at the time, because as far as I knew IBS was swinging between diarrhoea and constipation when in fact I was constantly diarrhoeic. It seemed to be worse when I ate rich fatty foods. But as I say on Atkins it has gone, even though I am of course eating fatty foods!!
