Hey! I'm in Burlington, NC! I visit this site and the ibsgroup.org website everyday just so I don't feel so alone in this.
Take care,
Amy

Glad you decided to jump in. That's the best way to do it.
You will probably see me snooping around and butting-in a lot.
This is a great place and so is the living room. There is so much help, advice and sometimes just plain old fun.
I agree. I wouldn't wish IBS on my worst enemy either. I feel like a food detective and I read labels on everything I use. I guess I have gotten used to it because I have had IBS for about 10 yrs. Sometimes I can cheat and eat something like Pizza (which I did the other day) with no problem and sometimes it would cause a big IBS attack. UGH!
How about you? What is your IBS story?

I've had IBS for about 10 years. It seems like it came on right about the time of menopause. This site has been so great and helped me so much. I thought I was suffering alone. Didn't know so many people had IBS. There is so much support here that I check in everyday even if I feel good just to see what is going on and see if I can help someone else.
My husband and I have 2 grown sons and a "spoiled rotten" golden retriever and I will be a granny in November.
You sound a lot like me because stress is a big IBS trigger for me, too. Happy you found this site and I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.

I don't get aorund to this board too often, but I just thought that I'd say hi and welcome! I'm hoping that you got to see JenX's awesome welcome message to the newbies?
If you haven't already checked out the Living Room, come on over! It's where we chat about our lives outside of IBS and have a lot of fun, play some games, and jsut get to know each other better!
It's great to have you here, and I think (as you've already found) you're gonna get some fantastic support and advice here and remember to never feel embarassed about any question that you'd like to ask!  We're glad you're here!
