Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Someone has claimed the book, everybody. To answer your ? though

I went thruogh all the scopes as Heather wisely suggests. Even though I've had IBS type symptoms my whole life this particular period stood out as "different". Pain did not subside with defacation comes to mind, for one thing. I was losing a lot of weight. Anyway, they found I had gastritis in my stomach which has to be treated. And I had colon polyps which I now have to be rechecked for every 3 years. On top of all that the abdominal CT scan found problems around my ovaries/uterus and I had to have a hysterectomy (thank God we were "done" having kids). I still follow much of Heather's protocol but my oldest son has a type of autism and does tons better with that (as well as physically) when we keep him completely off gluten and some other things, too... I can't cook different things for everyone so I follow his diet too and find I feel much better, still of course peeling and cooking all fruits/veggies, etc etc... One note, I can handle dairy but ONLY by using the homemade yogurt I make for him! It ferments 24 hours and breaks down everything so that it is quite easily digested and also has great probiotics.

Well, I think Heather's right-on here, I just didn't need my book anymore as I'm full up with cook books for what he needs and what I need fits into that, too.

Take care all,
Michelle
