Canada Hi Steph - Welcome to the boards. (We are the same age!) I am sure you will find Heather's diet terrific. It is amazing what the triggers are. When I started I thought it was only greasy food but it's so much more than that. I am sure you will start feeling better soon. If you can I would really suggest getting Heather's books. They are wonderful. I actually just got the First Year with IBS. I bought the cook book first and they are both worth the money. Anyways - nice to have you join us - enjoy the boards! -------------------- Lana_Marie Proud Mommy to Bentley Taylor Born May 12, 2004 9lbs, 3oz Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Welcome!

I do have Heather's cook book and I'm going to get her first year book today! I'm so happy to have come across this. Finally something that seems to be working for people. I feel like Dr's. at least the one's I went to don't know much about IBS. They never told me about the different fiber's. Thanks for your thoughts! -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Hi I'm new here!       #20369 - 09/11/03 02:40 PM Edit Reply Quote lyrae31 Reged: 08/29/03 Posts: 16 Hi StephS, I'm new here too and soooo glad I found this place. My doctor didn't tell me squat about IBS so, I've learned everything from here. Everyone is really nice and helpful too. Also, if you are looking for food ideas DEFINATLY check out the recipe area. I can hardly wait to cook some of them. Anyway, take care and Eat safe!

Canada I completely understand your feelings on the doctors (and I think there is a few more around here too). They really didn't seem to know much about it. I am going to have to get a copy of the book for my doctor so they will start to help people. Once again, welcome abroad. -------------------- Lana_Marie Proud Mommy to Bentley Taylor Born May 12, 2004 9lbs, 3oz Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Hi I'm new here!       #20407 - 09/11/03 06:31 PM Edit Reply Quote Ash Reged: 09/10/03 Posts: 21 Loc: Bellevue, WA Hi Steph! I am new too and SO glad to have found this board and Heather's books. One thing I would suggest about the diet is this: if you are not used to eating soy, be a little careful as it can cause gas. Add the soy to your diet gradually and take beano with it. I had trouble with soy milk in particular, but things like Luna Bars and Soy Crisps (both are fabulous, btw) are much easier to manage. Also, Veggie Slices and "Better than Cream Cheese" are some great non-dairy cheeses that you can get at Trader Joes and health stores.

(I know, it's a little confusing with us using these abbreviations.) I was just commenting on how young all the newbies seem to be. StephS, you are only 24 and then Lana Marie said she is the same age. (Yes, that does make me feel old, Barbara!) I'm 44 with 17- and 18-year-old sons. Gosh, I COULD be StephS's or Lana Marie's mother! But then, they probably don't pick up their clothes off the floor either. So, I'll pass on "adopting" more children---- although a daughter to go shopping with might be nice. Honestly, age doesn't matter. We all have IBS in common. I just don't feel old, until I hear these twenty-somethings give their age!

I can clean up my clothes off the floor - I am so much more mature than that! LOL I have to pick up the clothes at my house because my husband definately doesn't do it! LOL Age definately doesn't matter though, you're right! -------------------- Lana_Marie Proud Mommy to Bentley Taylor Born May 12, 2004 9lbs, 3oz Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Are you saying you're old BL?       #20473 - 09/12/03 09:05 AM Edit Reply Quote StephS Reged: 09/11/03 Posts: 2123 ok!! -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: StephS       #20474 - 09/12/03 09:09 AM Edit Reply Quote StephS Reged: 09/11/03 Posts: 2123 Actually I clean all day I'm a stay at home mom with a crazy, loud 5 yr boy!!
