Stop your IBS symptoms by cutting out ONE food.

Get rid of the millstone!

Do you suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome? I mean really suffer?

Does your gut feel like fire with every episode?

Do you “have to go” at very short notice at the most inopportune moments?

Is your abdomen bloated and so sore you can’t sleep at night.

Do you plan journeys like military operations so you know where the conveniences are along your route?

Do you have to carry an emergency kit in case of accidents?

Does it make you feel like you never want to set foot outside the door again? are you falling into a black hole of anxiety and depression?

Have you tried cutting out every food advised by doctors to no avail?

Is food a millstone rather than a comfort?

I empathise completely because until April this year I had been suffering with severe symptoms for 10 years.

I’ll warn you now, this story is going to get embarrassing. In places it’s disgusting. BUT, to cut this one food out of your diet you are going to need a damn good reason to encourage you to do it.

And at first, it’s going to be damned hard work. You are going to have to go cold turkey on one of the most addictive substances on the planet.
