Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I posted something about this a few months ago, and while several of you read the post, I haven't gotten a single response, so I thought I'd try again!

I'm a freelance writer in Chicago and I'm interested in writing a lighthearted book about women dealing with IBS. Heather's book was such a wonderful source of information and comfort to me when I first discovered that IBS was, in fact, what I had.

I would like to compile anecdotes from women throughout the country about their IBS experiences (maybe 50 or so...). I probably would devote three or four pages to each woman (likely referenced by first name only, age, and city/location). Just a light-hearted look at "this is what my experience is/was, this is what I did about it and this is how I'm doing today."

While IBS is socially and physically crippling at times, we all have situations that we can (almost...) laugh about from the past, that only people who've experienced them can really appreciate how horrible IBS can be.

I'm not looking to make money off of this book, I just think it would be invaluable to really show other women out there that they are not alone. And, as different things seem to work for different people, it can serve as a smorgasbord of options for people to try to see what works for them.

I would LOVE some contributors, or even some ideas/suggestions if you have them.
