Long time suffer w/IBS (25 years.) I have two questions:
1. What is EFI? I have searched the board and can not find what it means. I assume "fiber" is in there somewhere...
2. During an IBS attack, I often have a tingling in my legs and arms. Like little goosebumps accompanied with a slight numbness. Does anyone else have this?
( I will also often have sweating, feeling like passing out, etc.) My IBS is pretty well maintained w/ Heather's diet guidelines ( I have a mini photocopied one in my wallet) and meds but we all know what trigger slip up can do.
Thanks.

EFI stands for Eating for IBS, it's a book written by Heather and the acronym that refers to her dietary approach on these boards.
Sorry, can't answer #2.

I have noticed the tiny bumps too.........
But I'm not sure it is associated with IBS.
I've read that is more of an anxiety symptom, but I don't always feel anxious when I get them.
IBS seems to affect more things than we realize, it seems.
Like a "whole body" reaction as opposed to just one part of the body.
Thanks for mentioning this. It is extremely interesting!

Oh, please don't feel dumb, I myself had problems with some of the acronyms used around here at the beginnig . It's a lot of new info and words to process and can be a bit overwhelming  .
