Hi everyone! I'm new here. I have been reading the board for a few weeks and have gotten a lot of good ideas for controlling my IBS. I am 24, divorced, with 3 daughters. I have had stomach problems since I was little and was diagnosed with IBS-D in September 2004 after a colonoscopy. Right now I am trying to control my IBS-D with calcium, Citrucel, and I may start Heather's diet. I just want to be normal, be able to travel, and not disappoint my kids when we can't go anywhere because mom doesn't feel well. I have enjoyed reading your posts and I hope to get to know you all better.

Welcome! This is a great place. I have found that Heather's diet works wonders but you have to kind of play around with what works for you. The books offer tons of information and there is a lot of support on the boards. Good luck!

Welcome from me, too!
I've also seen a world of difference since I've started Heather's diet. It's definitely worth giving a shot. I LOVE her IBS diet recipe book -so many yummy things!, and there's great stuff on the recipe exchange board, too.
Good luck,
Myra

I'm 26, have 3 kids and have IBS A but mostly get D. (My doc reckons I'm IBS D but I get C from a lot of meds so I call myself an A). I also hate disappointing the kids when I can't go anywhere for fear of not being able to find a loo or having a pain attack and not being able to sit or lie down or drive home. Welcome to the boards

Before I found this board I felt so alone dealing with my IBS. Everyone else told me it was all in my head! I'm looking forward to feeling better,

Welcome to the boards!! Heather's diet is a godsend! You just have to make sure you follow it religiously in the beginning and as you begin to stabilize, you can test the waters for other foods. Just don't eat too much of them and pay attention to what your body is telling you.
Good luck with the diet!!
