People are here to give and to get help, advice, and sympathy. If you happen to ask a question but don't want to try some of the advice you receive, that's fine, but please respect the good intentions of the person offering the advice. There's no need to respond negatively to the advice you've been given, simply disregard it and move on to other posts without responding.
If anyone sees any posts that they feel are simply inappropriate to the IBS focus or friendly, helpful atmosphere of the boards, please let me know. Just email me at heather@helpforibs.com and give me a link to the post that's troubling you. If there's a problem on the boards I'll delete the inappropriate posts and take care of things.
Thank you to everyone on the boards for your generosity, caring, kindness, and wisdom, which you all share so selflessly. I truly appreciate not just the gread advice you give, but the terrifically helpful, welcoming, and empathetic ways that you give it!

Then I'm sure I'll get kicked off the board for this:
Being supportive means actually caring about what someone is going through. When someone half-reads a post and comments without reading for comprehension, it would be better to just not post at all. I am not a child who is to be taken to task - I realize that my previous posts came across as pretty snippy, and that wasn't my intention.
I refuse to kiss up, play nicey-nicey, and all the rest of that junk to people who don't give me the same respect.

Becca,
I think there is a little confusion going on here. Please hear me out.....Last night,er maybe the early morning hours, there was a person who had, for several weeks, been writing troublesome emails. EVERYONE, and I do mean EVERYONE was trying to console, listen, offer help from thier own experiences and so on. The posts had gotten comletely out of hand, to the point of complete mean spiritedness. I am telling you I could not believe some of the things she was saying to people, vile things.
I emailed Heather and asked her to put a stop to it, she did. She removed a string of threads this poster had been keeping stirred up.
Heathers new post, had nothing to do with you, I promise. When I posted to you last night about your medication post, it came after I had posted to Heather, and Heather's removal of the string.
Please do not take this personally, I have read your past threads and do not see you as someone looking to cause trouble. I also read all of your info. on the Gastroparesis (sp). I hate that you are suffering with such a terrible painful diagnosis. I wish I could take it away for you, I really do. Many people who have been posting with me could probably back me up here, I am not a mean spirited, confrontational type of person. I will do anything to help someone in need, or just to listen if that be the case.
Once again, please do not take offense, it was not intended to cause hurt you.
Honestly, I can't take much more stress, I am here to get help to deal with the effects of stress on my body. I love everyone on these posts, but.........well, I am tired.
If you would like to discuss this more, I will talk to you in the LR.
