I look at the past 24hrs and if it's something I can help with or add two cents on any of the boards I do it. I like you can't recommend anything on diet and stuff simply because I don't follow the diet nor do I understand dosages of fiber and stuff.
I started out using the site for helpful information then just got accustomed going right to the Living Room chats.
Don't feel as though you are "bossing". You were simply making a suggestion and I think everyone knows that. It probably did make other people think too so it was a good suggestion!

You said you don't do the diet so what diet do you do? And do you use an SFS?
I'm just curious as I have not had much success with this diet or with an SFS and am wondering what you have found helpful for you.
If I remember correctly, you don't really have a severe case of IBS though, right? What are your main symptoms?
And thanks for not thinking I am bossy! I am such the quiet, non assertive person. I was actually nicknamed Mouse because I am so quiet!

...I've heard that before...and often it's just that the post isn't answered quickly and then it's not at the front of the forum. I know that sometimes I like to think about a reply before I post...I only ever don't answer a post if I've no info or it's already been sorted.

A very reasonable request, Beth, and well put. You said it very nicely. I respect your being "up-front" with us, and I admire your initiative.
I'll try to comply with your request; I just assumed, with so many people here, that all the threads were well-covered, but now that I know otherwise, I'll see if there's anything I can offer anyone.
Okay?
Bev

The Eating Board has never been so popular than today.
Thanks for all your help. But you have to promise to still keep posting you're jokes of the day and keep us laughing here in the Living Room!!!
We all need an escape from IBS "crap" too! 
Love

Beth, I'm IBS D and have been for over 15 years  so I pretty much know what I can eat and what I can't. My bad times which I've pretty much pinpointed are hormonal times (ovulation and menstrual time)so I know pretty much when I have an attack what it's caused from. I CAN NOT tolerate dairy as far as milk. Cheese is fine but cream cheese and sour cream are No, No's. I still eat them but pay later.
I do take Bentyl which is maybe cheating as to why my IBS is not as severe as some but I've just recently starting taking it again about 6months ago. In the past I've tried donnatol & Levsin and couldn't tolerate them. Bentyl seemed to be the only thing that worked and then it stopped working. I had a bad attack in Sept for 10 days and started back up on the Bentyl after 10 years or so and it's been working (for now).
However, just because my symptoms aren't as severe as some I still have every other bothersome issue that goes along with IBS. I can't eat at most restraunts, fear long car drives, know where every gas station is on my way to work, have anxiety about going anywhere where there's not going to be a bathroom, going to picinics, the embarrassment of having to leave somewhere if I get a bad attack....Ughhhhhh
so I can relate to all the other people on the boards in that respect.
I've never tried SFS. I did take acidophilus and am really considering starting back up again as it didn't hurt in any way and it was putting the good bacteria back into my gut.
I've tried some of Heather's sweet baked recipes and didn't really like them. I am lucky in that respect. I can eat chocolate and pretty much any junk food so I guess that's why I don't follow any special diet. Like I said before I've dealt with this for over 15 years and I guess I kinda know how to control it to a point.
Good luck in finding your "happy medium". I'm sure you will in time.
