Thanks, and good to know!
I try to read everything that I can regarding IBS. Sometimes, though, I suffer from information overload. I tend to over-think things a great deal; and I am always second-guessing my "symptoms"...
I am very fortunate to have an exceptionally supportive wife [although, she is tired of hearing about poop...  ]; and an equally supportive supervisor [he let me alter some of my hours in order to attend the gym more frequently...].

Hi Seahawk!
Everyone pretty much covered everything, as far as I can tell. What dose are you at on your Benefiber? I see you take it 2x a day, but how much each time? I didn't see that in any of the posts, so if you did say already and I missed it, I apologize.
Have you ever considered hypnotherapy? The hypno really helped me with morning BM's. I would always have to go at the most inconvienent time - as I was going out the door, on the way, etc., but the hypno REALLY got that under control. Just thought it may help you.

Thanks!
I really tend to over-think things; so, of course, I am leery of the hypnotherapy. It may be something I need to consider. At least it is not drug-related. I have done everything I can to avoid taking prescription medications.
As for my Benefiber intake, I take 1tbsp in my morning shake and 1 tbsp at night in my cereal.

I'm the same way! Info. overload can do that to you. But the more we read...the more we know...the more we grow! (I was a kindergarten teacher, can you tell?) 
It's great that you read! And don't second guess yourself! You've got a great head on your shoulders...and a great supervisor! Can I get time off to go the gym too?

Nyah, I cannot even tell.
My wife is a Children's Librarian; so I completely understand...
As far as time off for the gym is concerned, I will put in a good word for you with my boss!
Second-guessing myself is what I seem to do best. It is definitely something that I have to work on. I am certain that a portion of my stress comes from that very fact.

Okay, you can't tease us like that. Quote: "Her birthday gift this year is going to be something extra special." Unquote.
Totally unfair. You GOTTA tell us what you're getting her.

Fair enough.
Finances permitting, it will probably be an expensive "right-hand ring".
Normally, we do not purchase extravagant gifts for our birthdays; but, as patient and as understanding as she has been over the past few months, I firmly believe that she deserves something extra special.
We have been friends with her for eleven years; and we have been married for over three.

Hi Seahawk! You've gotten some great advice already, so I just wanted to make sure I welcomed you to the boards! I agree with Ruchie, you are very well informed! I'm like that too, I like to know everything humanly possible about my IBS. I really think knowledge is important! I hope you get things figured out soon, and feel free to ask any questions that come up! See you around.

Thank you very much!
If I ask all of the number of myriad questions I have regarding IBS, everyone here on the board may get real tired of seeing my name posted everywhere...
