Hello all.
I've surfed the boards off and on for a long time now. I'm almost 30 years old and have suffered from IBS for at least 20 of them.
I'm also a freelance writer and I'm looking to write an article on IBS from a male point of view. Maybe it is just my perception, but males seem to be a quiet minority among IBS suffers.
As part of my research, I'd like to talk to other men and hear their stories, what works for them, what hasn't.
If there are any males or if you know of any that have IBS, I'd love to talk to you!
Thanks!

You seem to be right abour IBS effecting more women than men. I don't why, perhaps it has to do with hormones. Menstrual cycles seem to play into aggravating IBS quite a bit.
Anyhoo, welcome to the boards.

Hi Craig,
Yup, I'm a male with IBS, too. But what's an even stranger coincidence is that I'm also a writer. In fact, I just recently published a memoir about my adventures working and dating with IBS. Since we have so much in common, we should definitely talk! Drop me a line anytime - I look forward to hearing from you (and anybody else for that matter - male or female!) Thanks,
Tim

Howdy... I am IBS d for about 20 years. Heather's diet works for me. Well ... 80 % of the time. I still have an 18 year old at home. He's my biggest uncontrollable trigger.

Hi Tim
Are you the friend of Marilyn's that she posted about? (with link to your website) If so your book looks really funny, will be ordering it from Amazon soon as I have a few more £'s available...

Hi,
I've been off the boards for a few months and was just looking over what I'd missed.
I'm in about the same situation in terms of how long I've dealt with IBS- 33yo and ibs for at least 23 years. I'd be happy to talk to you.
