I have no symptoms anymore and am healthier than I ever was, it is NOT a pie in the sky.

Stan,

If and when you do mess up your diet and (if) symptoms do come back, do they usually come back the next day, or a few days later? When a perfect diet is followed, how long does it take to feel the results? and vice-versua --how long after a bad diet do symptoms return?

If I eat something bad, takes about 2-3 days for symptoms to crop up, and so long as I continue to eat the diet after that moment I feel fine. Were I to keep eating bad things would happen though. I would say expect some pretty good results in around 4 months, or at least NOTICEABLE results. If you haven't been on a good diet for a long enough time, bad symptoms can return rather quickly, whereas after a year not that bad at all, depending on what you eat, and not as quickly.
