Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hey Everyone,
I am finally at school and have started my classes. So far so good. I love my apartment and things with my boyfriend couldn't be better. I did have one major attack that completely dehydrated me. I ended up at our health center with a NP that has IBS! She was wonderful and provided me with so much help. This has greatly reduced my anxiety about things up here. Anyways.... I have my first series of projects for the semester. One of them is something called a "Self-Change" Project. I am supposed to change one thing about myself. I have decided that i want to get my IBS under control. I have had problems in the past because my will power (or won't power..lol) sucks. I am 22 and it's really hard to follow a diet. It's a little easier now because i purchase my own food. I have to make conscious decisions about what I put into my body instead of just walking to the fridge. I have had the hypno tapes for over 2 years but have been unable to finish them. Life just kept getting in the way. I can't find my schedule anywhere so I don't know what order to do them in (if anyone can send me the schedule I would SOOOO Appreciate it.) I bought a tape player and everything. Back when I bought the stuff I couldn't afford the cd's...so it's just the tapes for me! I also had a question. What is the verdict on frozen fries? Dan and I bought some frozen french fries for the apartment. They only have 3.5 grams of fat in them plus they are steak fries WITH the skins so I imagine they would actually be good for me. Any advice would be great! I have met a girl in my class doing the same project. She, too, is a college student with IBS-C (I am IBS-A). So it looks like I am getting support from someone here...and hopefully a good grade!
Teresa
