Ok, first I have to say that I love all of you guys, really. Your unconditional support means the world to me. All your kind words and encouragement helped me get through today. I especially want to signal out Mindy as she has personally gone through all of this and truly understands. She is a very brave lady.
That said.....I AM 100% FINE!!!!!     
He even handed me the report which said that there is zero signs of any inflammation, ulcers or any irritation whatsover in my intestines. It even stated that my ileum (?) was normal and all clear. It said that I do not have inflammatory bowel disease at all.
OMG X a million. I am BEYOND RELIEVED. Ok, I need to exhale........ ooooohhhhhh boy.
YAYAYAYAYAY. I am doing a happy dance. I even bought myself $20 worth of gerber daisies and yellow tulips to celebrate!
Thanks again everyone.
xxxoo

Great- you have IBS (said dryly). That was like last month when I was glad I had poison ivy and not shingles. Well just kidding. That is super you aren't in danger!

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

I'm glad to hear it's not anything more serious. IBS may stink, but there are worse things.

Ha ha. too funny.
Ya, I would miss these boards terribly. I think even if I had Crohn's I would stick around as Heather's diet is great for that as well.

Hi Tina.
Glad to hear you got good news. It's also great that your tummy has been behaving itself a bit more recently. I totally go for the flowers thing! Earlier this week after an appointment with my GI doc I meant to go to the cafe and get myself a cookie to congratulate myself on getting through it without crying, but I forgot about it once I got to work - I think I should get one today!!!
As for my little ileum - that's where the disease is now and we're hoping it doesn't spread to my colon which is where my doctor predicted it will go next! How nice to hear!!! 
So I hope you have a good friday and remind me sometime later today - that I need to go down stairs and buy a cookie!
