Frustrated... How long before you see improvement

[Guest guest]

I'm still suffering from flare ups (even though this is the first three weeks of

the diet). This is graphic: but lots of gas (although the 14-16 trips a day is

cut in half.

But it's embarrassing, and frustrating. I haven't cheated on the diet yet (no

sugar, starches, dairy with lactose, chocolate, gluten, etc;) but it seems like

my stomach is still upset.

I'm whining, I know but I feel extremely frustrated. Instead of throwing in the

towel (like I've done in the past and head straight to cheer myself up with a

fast food meal) -- turned to making a fritata instead and checking in here for

some answers.

How long does it take to see some significant progress on the diet? What should

I do until then?
