I am a retired military vet and due to numerous trips to the Middle East and my infidel status I now suffer with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS). I have attempted to do the initial 9 day low carb to get into the program twice now, but it seems when I get to day 5 or 6 my IBS kicks in 10 fold and have to stop because I get so sick. Has anyone experienced this or are there any suggestions to get around this issue? I have both books on the programs, I have not seen this subject addressed.    Thanks!Chet
