GOOD! I hadn't seen this before but think your earlier view was too harsh. Its good to see you are able to admit that you were wrong!

No hard feelings at all. I know what you mean... I'm one of the "recovering from ED's" people, and I know that sometimes it can look like the obsessing we used to do with the ED. But... well, it's a little different.  Anyway, it's ok, no harm done.

I appreciate your concern about making sure food doesn't rule our lives! It shouldn't! I wish so much we could all enjoy living to the fullest without having to worry so much about what triggers IBS. I am so thankful to be able to communicate with all of the people on this website about my IBS problems. It's so comforting to know I'm not alone!

Ill feelings on these boards are HARD to deal with. I don't think you've been around that long so you won't have noticed how many of the people on here are actually very careful to steer obsessive type people away from bad eating habits...trying to eat more healthily (which is what most of us are doing) is way better than just trying to cut calories. Reporting in when you're trying to eat more healthily doesn't sound that bad at all!
When I report in (which I haven't been doing for a while  ) is mainly b/c (1) it's a great way to keep an eye on my fruit/water consumption (otherwise I forget to think about it at all! ) and (2) b/c of my other health issues and the meds I take I have a real problem with my weight slowly going up and I'm trying to stop that before I get too unhealthily overweight.

I understand your frustration, and it sounds like you understand that you can't just jump in and start attacking the members of this board.
You said you are dealing with an eating disorder, and it's true, I worry about becoming obsessed with food behavior while trying to deal with IBS. But it's also true that you have to pay careful attention to what you eat to avoid triggering IBS. That said, I chose to address my eating disorder first and then the IBS. Perhaps one can do both at the same time, but not me, because I had to work on not worrying so much about what I eat. Now that I'm "recovered" (I use that term loosely, because I understand I can always slip into ED behaviors), I feel more comfortable thinking about food and my body again in a reasonable way.
Here's a website for you if you haven't been there:
Something Fishy
Their forum is so helpful and there have been discussions about dealing with eating disorders and digestive problems.
Good luck.

Sorry to do another post, but if you are in the throes of an eating disorder, it's probably a good idea to avoid the IBS Fitness & Lifestyle Board in general until you feel you can read it without it triggering ED feelings, just my opinion.
