Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I'm a self-proclaimed IBS'er...along with many of you, my doctors wont treat me for IBS, apparently I actually GIVE MYSELF d....well it wasn't put to me like that....but I'm sure you all know my frusteration....

I want to say...I've been following the food ideas, and slowly adding food into the bland foods. I actually have been feeling more normal than I use to feel. My stomach isn't ALWAYS on my mind. I still worry some, especially if i'm going somewhere I don't know, or at someone else's house....but for the most, I'm not all bloated feeling anymore, I don't freak out that my D will just come from no where....i'm eating healthier, and feel really good about 90% of the time...i do get d without triggers ONCE IN A WHILE, but I feel that I have gotten so much more control over my symptoms. Although I am learning more and more what my triggers are...I just figured out Friday that HFCS is one....and really things that aren't really that good for you to begin with is what my body doens't like. So I think that we are the special ones which our bodies know that this stuff I bad for us....and it doesn't want to be poisoned! ok, thats a silly rant....because I have had a few bouts where there was no trigger...but Like i said...my life has really seemed to change...my bowels aren't the #1 thing on my mind! My life has changed so much due to these boards...and thanks to everyone who responds to my quesitons and help me out...and i really think that its awesome that although everyone is from totally different parts of the world, we all share a common bond, which i think is great that everyone is so caring, because we know that the symptoms we suffer with suck, and we all do what we can to help eachother out! ok my rant is through...thanks again!!!!
