I have recently been having frequent diarrhea, however in the last week and a half I have adopted a Japanese diet and my symptoms are in regression. Each day I eat lunch and dinner at the Japanese diner near my work- the food is good and with almost zero fat- and my painful smelly wind, diarrhea and abdomin pains have been in regression ever since.I am planning to stick to this diet, except for Sundays when I will reward myself with McDonalds and a small amount of junk food. Do you think that cutting out fat is a key towards reducing my symptoms? I should add that for the last seven years I have been on a diet of total junk- as a college student and post graduate student I pretty much lived off fatty take out food and sweets.
