I have a patient (18) whose mom found me on the internet a few months ago, and she initially emailed me explaining her daughter's IBS symptoms and years of visits from doctor to doctor to doctor with no resolution of symptoms and with doctors finally telling her that she was going to have to live with it, or that she wasn't trying hard enough. She found me on the internet, and I remember the last thing she asked me was "Is there no hope?" to which I replied that of course there was, and proceeded to tell her about LEAP.

The following is feedback I received from a patient:
"Deb
Things have been going good. I kinda went off the diet a little
bit now I am dealing with it. I am going back on it fully because I
realize how bad I feel. It has really helped me. I truly need to just
keep up on it and watch what I am eating. Thank you so much for
everything."

“Same thing happened to me. I didn't have many "significant" symptoms,
just some brain fogginess, very mild headaches, etc. but wanted to do
LEAP anyway. I went off all my reactive foods for one week and did not

EXTRA FIBER INTAKE WAS SUPPOSED TO WORK TOO. I LOADED UP ON IT. WHAT HAPPENED?

That’s how it is with this and all the other treatments typically used for IBS. They will give us “attitude adjustment”, some hit-or-miss “list of foods to avoid”, some “fiber supplementation” instructions, temporary help from diarrhea pills, perhaps even a pamphlet with great advice like “How to Relax and Cope with IBS: Be Happy! It’s Not Cancer!”.

Hi. My name is Mike. I sometimes go by my online name(s) of Mike NoLomotil or MikeNoLomotil. That’s because I used to swallow Lomotil, a powerful anti-diarrhea drug, literally by the handful. Like popcorn. I have not swallowed one for 14 years. I am a credentialed healthcare professional (RRT) of 30+ years experience. I have had IBS for 40+ years. Because of the unique LEAP test and treatment program my unbearable IBS symptoms are a thing of the past. I have not seen a gastroenterologist for IBS treatment since at least 1994!

The aim of this study was to examine the lifestyle of adult patients with abdominal discomfort (i.e., diarrhea, bloating, pain, and irregular defecation) self-attributed to food hypersensitivity and compare it with controls to see if the patients had a special lifestyle explaining their symptoms. Forty-six participants in this study were adult ethnic Norwegians referred by general practitioners to the Centre for Occupational and Environmental Allergy at Haukeland University Hospital because of gastrointestinal complaints, which the patients or their doctors suspected could be due to food allergy.
