Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi Kandee!

Thanks for all your helpful info! Luckily I'm active and pretty slender. It was kind of funny I diagnosed myself with thyroid...I went to the DR and told them to test me for it. Sure enough I hade Hypothyroidism. I thought it would have been Hyper not Hypo, because I can eat tons and not gain weight. I didn't gain much weigh before I found out I had Hypothyroid. I gained 5 or so LBS...but I had also just stopped nursing my baby at the time. I get pretty thin nursing. And when I stop I usually gain a few Lbs back. So I figure it might have been a combo of the two. Anyways I was lucky not to gain 20 lbs with the hypothyroid. My sister both did. I've ALWAYS had a really fast matobolism. They use to call me an etheopean (SP?) when I was little!

So I hope that I will always be that lucky. If I just keep up with the kids and exercise maybe I'll avoid the diabetes. YOUR right I'm too young to be worried about all this. I think that being young a mom I worry alot and that causes a lot of my IBS problems. Not to mention that being a mom is very stressful!!! I just need to focus on being a good mom and trying my hardest to be healthy!

I'm so happy to know that there is a board for thyroid. I'm going to check that out!

Thanks agian Kandee!
