Yolie - Welcome to our IBS boards. It's nice to have someone from Philly--my old stomping grounds. I used to live in NJ and worked at Gimbel's in Philly in the office for a VP. That was in the old days, tho. I now live in sunny (well, not today) California up in the mountains.
It's great to hear that you're feeling better now. And, it's also terrific that your kids are so compassionate. I wish adults could be like that!
It's very hard to adhere to strict rules, but when it comes to IBS, I guess we have to or suffer the consequences. I, too, cheat sometimes because I dearly love chocolate. So, if I can't have Hershey's bars, I make desserts with cocoa powder instead and they're just as satisfying, although I do wanna eat the whole recipe at one sitting!!! And, if that isn't bad enough, the Hershey's chocolate plant is only an hour away in Oakdale, Ca. There's one in Hershey, Pa too, right? And, if that really isn't bad enough, their gift shop is enough to make you go into a diabetic coma by just walking through the doors!!! Needless to say, I don't go there, except if we take visitors through--no charge for the tour and, of course, they pick you up and drop you off at the gift shop. How convenient!!! LOL
