Hey everyone, I am new to IBS and I am still trying to cope with it. Its been really hard for me. I lost a lot of weight because I am scared to eat. Just recently I purchased a book and its kind of helping me with what to eat and how to deal with having IBS. That's been a real big issue for me what to eat I enjoy eating and now I feel restricted. So my doctor suggested that maybe I need to join a support group to see that its not only me suffering from IBS and maybe others can give me pointers on how to deal and how they manage with IBS. I am looking forward to speaking and hearing what advise you all may have for me and just meeting others that I can relate and speak to when I am just feeling down and up.

Hello,
I am new as well and I can tell you it hasn't been easy...but already I have read Heather's book "Eating for IBS" and haven't had an attack as long as I go by her advice. I have gotten frustrated with just the soluble fiber cleansing and I am slowly introducing insoluble fibers back into my diet. I know it can be upsetting especially when you realize the things you once love to eat you may not be able to eat any longer. My problem is finding the soy cheeses and meat substitutes in my area of the world...ALABAMA. This is a wonderful site for support. You have been blessed to find this website just as I was. I wish you the best and strongly advice you to read everything you can on this website and/or order "Eating for IBS" from Heather.
