Hello everyone, I've been using this site for a while now, mostly just noting trigger foods for IBS so as to avoid tummy pains but starving doesn't feel much better either... I would love to talk to someone who knows a lot about IBS and just ask a ton of questions, if anyone is up for it reply whichever way is more convenient for you, here's my email saveourrain@hotmail.com, my name is Sarah by the way, thanks for reading !

Hi there, Welcome to the boards - I'm sure a lot of us would be more than willing to answer as many of your questions as we can. My first advice would be to post your questions on the IBS Diet board, not the Living Room. We usually use the Living Room for other stuff, and the IBS Diet gets more advice about IBS Diet and all that other good stuff. If you post over there, I'll get my butt over there and reply and I'm sure it'll get seen and replied to more over there too. Good luck, and welcome again! --Steph

Welcome Sarah,
You'll get a wealth of support here and find these message boards are one of your biggest saviours.
There are so many friendly, compassionate people here who understand EXACTLY how you feel. I remember I burst into tears the first time I read a post from someone as I felt like they were reading my mind or something and it's so nice to feel supported and understand by others with similiar experiences.
Any questions you have, ask away and you'll be surprised at the number of helpful responses you will get.
I also suggest going to each of the boards and reading the info sheets which are "stuck" (with the little red pin icon) at the top of each one. There are heaps of helpful ideas there.
Best of luck, Kerrie

Welcome to the boards. If you have any specific things you want to know try using the search button at the top of the screen and do it for all the posts not just for the last weeks or something. We all have IBS so we all know how you're feeling and empathise a lot! It's no fun at all. Use the diet boards for any food related questions or query's about meds, food, triggers etc. In the living room we mostly chat about the rest of our lives and what we're up to, if we've seen something funny that day etc. Glad to have you here and I look forward to getting to know you

Welcome!
Um, I'm not sure what your questions are, so if you don't want to post them here (which will get you LOADS of replies, not just one), then my email is lindseyquarrie@homail.com
