This may not be the right forum....but last year I sent an email to the Oprah show, asking them to do a show on IBS. I didn't hear anything back from them so I figured they had just ignored it. However today I get an email from them:
My name is Alex Castro and I'm a producer with the Oprah Winfrey show. I'm writing to you in response to the e-mail you sent us last June where you mentioned you suffer from IBS. I would like to ask you a couple of questions about your condition when you have a chance. Please call me back
at 312 633-xxxx. If you could also e-mail me a couple of pictures of yourself for my file I would really appreciate it. Looking forward to speaking with you.
Take Care,
Alejandro Castro
Associate Producer
The Oprah Winfrey Show
Do you think this is legit? I did email them, but I dont remember just when last year. Has anyone else heard from them? Any suggestions on what I should say to them? I'm not going to call back today, I'm much too busy but I think I might tomorrow. Help!! LOL

I just went to Oprah.com and a future topic IS "Do you suffer from a bowel disorder?" So, it sounds like the email is legit. Here's the link to that particular Oprah topic. Wow! That would be great if she did a show about IBS!

I think this sounds fantastic. More people need to understand what IBS is- That it isn't in our heads..
I am going to check out the website....

Yes, I would call them back. I think its fabulous that they want to do a show on IBs, I just hope they get the facts right!!!! I would definately ask Heather for her permission to have Oprah's people contact her directly!!! It won't do us any good if they don't get the "real" story!!
