Hi medicineman! I'm still new to the board too and am glad to have found others going thru much of the same things. I've had this for at least 15 yrs and am grateful for Heather's book. My husband does understand which is helpful but his family has taken longer. I've been teased for leaving the dinner table to go to the restroom. I loved the "did you go to throw up?" bit. Frustrating! But all is better now and they are coming around. However, it's not something you like everyone to know about!

WElcome to the board! Flax is a great source of EFA's ( Essential Fats) and fiber.. ( if you use the ground.) It has been proven to help fight cancer, act as a phytoestrogen ( if you have PMS or Menopause it is a natural remedy) helps fight heart disease, lowers cholesterol, etc., etc. I use it daily and it has been a great help. You can buy the oil refrigerated in many health food stores as well as the seeds, which come ground or natural ( so you grind it yourself.) It is something that EVERYONE should add to their diet, IBS or not. Hope this is helpful!

Thanks, once again. I have only been battling this for about a year now. Swing from C to D about every two to three days. Haven't had to leave the dinner table yet. Just me and the wife here no relatives close by to worry about. You all seem very nice. I have other symptoms that I try to get across to the GI if I can get his attention.

Looks like you are doing a fine job! Sean Connery eh? My fav. As has been said many times we welcome everyone here! We're all at various stages of health. I'm just starting to get there after six months but still have bad days. There are several of us IBS or Crohn's in my family so they are understanding but some of the others just can't accept it. My husband is VERY good and his parents are trying really hard to cook what I can eat. It's hard on them but they do try. They feel sorry for me that all they can cook for me is chicken. But that's ok. If you haven't done it yet, pick up Heather's book. Check the library if you don't want to go out and buy it right away. It's great!
Later.

I will have to check into Heather's book. I have another appt with the GI on the 8th of this month. Sometimes I feel it seems worthless to keep going back but one has to do what one has to do.
