Does anyone else feel that way? I know IBS is IBS, but us C-ers definitely seem to have some differences than you D-ers. It is helpful to make those distinctions.
P.S. Heather, what do you think? Any chance?

I'm happy to hear what the D ers have to say, bec...sometimes I'm D too,but honestly, lately it's so seldom that I really think we need an IBS-C forum! We're totally weird compared to those D'ers!!LOL

and a separate forum was a no-go...unless my memory is completely whack, which could be the case. 
It's just not practical, and I'm sure Heather will agree. If there's a C forum, there has to be a D forum, an A forum, a forum for pain-predominants, etc etc etc. Honestly, there's no need for segregation in the first place. I agree that the symptoms and treatment are a bit different, but what would you accomplish with a strictly C forum that you can't do in the general forums?
If it comes down to it and you REALLY want a C forum, there are plenty of free message board services out there, and places like Yahoo Groups, where you can start your own boards with a minimum of hassle.

Yep, I agree with Casey. It would just be way too difficult - plus, can't we all just get along??? lol, ok i'll stop being dramatic haha
I think someone suggested this somewhere I while back - but what if there was some way of having a field where you could put if you're IBS-D, C or A, i.e. under your pic, by where you're from etc... ??
Not sure if that would be desirable or even possible but it's just an idea!

alternative, ie: putting our "type of IBS" in our profiles.
