Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Forum - Heather's IBS Message Boards

Well, Heather, it should be the doctors, the dieticians, and nutritionists that should be embarrassed!

They are definitely NOT up to time on what IBS sufferers are dealing with nor what is good for them, and what is TOTALLY offensive to their guts. Yes, I am making a general statement here and for sure there are exceptions to this. If they knew and could help, we wouldn't be at your website, now would we?

Even so, one just can't spend their money blindly absently knowing if a practitioner they choose REALLY knows anything about IBS misery. We are far better off at this board reading, asking questions, exploring personal answers, and saving a LOT of money some of us don't have to blow in the process of seeking help, and only inviting yet more misery!

Generalities of GOOD nutrition and balanced meals for non-IBS patients does NOT work for an IBS 'gut', and in fact can wreak havoc and cause a lot of physical and emotional misery. I think we ALL know that path.

Thank you Heather for sharing and being an encourager to those of us with this condition! As a result, we are learning what works and what absolutely will not.

Again, this can be a very personal trial and error path and there are no cut and dried rules beyond the basics and staying on a personal tract that affords us better health and more joy in life.
