This is a common mistake, to think you can skip Intro because you don't

really need it. I know it's one I made. In my case, I had achieved

the diet except I was eating rice, so I figured at first that I was

" almost there " and thought it was confirmed when, three

days later, I felt markedly better. A nice beginning. However, two

months later after a dental procedure gone wrong, when I could hardly

open my mouth and was only eating soup, pureed chicken and zucchini it

sometimes, and applesauce and mashed banana, I realized, " Hey, I'm

on Intro! " . I was on it for about five days before the problem

got fixed with my mouth. And, much to my surprise, Intro helped me feel

better, gut calmed down more and " output " improved as

well.

So, I would say, definitely do Intro. If there are things that are

legal, and used on Intro, but you know they don't agree with you, then

skip them for now. And I would also suggest after Intro going ahead

and adding one food at a time, to see if the normal way of adding foods

helps you. The only way to know is to try it. It's slow and a nuisance,

we can all attest to that, but it usually helps and you've got a good

chance it may help you.

I didn't do the Introduction Diet because I have never suffered

from diarrhoea (English spelling) and I assumed that I didn't need to

undergo initial healing and so I just went immediately for all the legal

foods. Maybe I should try the Intro Diet.

Hi Mara

“You would think that some doctor somewhere would enjoy

the challenge of trying to solve this”

Yes, I did think this for a long time but unfortunately gastroneterologists

are so busy and every day they tell someone they have cancer and everyday one

of their patients dies so my ongoing misery just pales into the background. I

have seen 10 gastroenterologists and if my memory serves me right 9 colorectal

surgeons. I am due to see a new gastro next week who states that they (5 of

them) work as a team so I am hoping they will come up with something.

Anyway, thanks for your help and support.
