A friend sent me this website, so I joined. I'm just browsing around, reading info. Was diagnosed today, which was no surprise, but I guess it's just official now. Pretty miserable. But oh well! Where there's a will, there's a way! Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Linda Ferguson, I'm in OK. I'm 35, married for 4 yrs this December. My husband is Tommy. We breed, raise, train and show Arabians. Our last show for the year is Halloween weekend, then we get a break. Hope I survive the show without too many IBS attacks, we'll be there for 4 days. So anyway, there you have it in a nutshell.

I guess we're neighbors. Oklahoma is so pretty, lots and lots of trees and beautiful hills. You'll find plenty of information here to help you get stable, so maybe you won't have to contend with so many (or any) attacks at your next show. I'm glad you're here. Terri

Welcome, Linda! I'm glad you found us; this board is full of compassionate and very understanding people. You will get lots of great advise and information here. Have you read about Heather's IBS diet yet? The home page is a good place to start, with advise on how to eat, what to avoid, and how to start soluble fiber supplements. I hope you start feeling better soon. Again, it's great to have you here.
