Yes, but…this first, two-week program is to attempt to identify what is bothering a malfunctioning gut. It’s not a lifelong thing, except for eating none/less of the things that trigger symptoms.
I’m terrible at following ANY program, for almost any reason, but I’m actively reminding myself that this is ONLY for two weeks and just to identify what things I can later CHOOSE to omit from my diet or eat differently, in order to be able to leave the house.
Many people have unpredictable bowel movements immediately post-DS-op, then it goes away. Living with IBS is a lot like those post-op days in terms of living in fear of not knowing where the closest, available restroom is.
