Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Volunteers to help coach

I'm assuming from the content of your post that you are the poster previously known as NotADocter, who was the poster previously known as Volatile. If so, it took a lot of courage and determination to post this and I hope you get the help you want. I'm not willing to volunteer for the post, but I do have a few suggestions.

Update your profile to put your email address in it. That way, anyone who does want to help you "off the books" can contact you directly, rather than going through a meet-and-greet with an audience of millions.

I don't remember you saying in any of your previous posts that you have read Heather's book, "The First Year - IBS". I know you say you have to ask questions to learn, but if you're in college I assume you must be able to read textbooks to absorb knowledge. I strongly urge you to get Heather's book and read it like a textbook. It will provide a firm foundation for your understanding of the diet and the larger lifestyle changes you need to make.

If no one from the Boards volunteers to tutor you and you really just can't get the info you need from reading the book, reading the Website, and searching the Boards, try approaching it from the other end. Ask a friend or relative to do the reading with you and help you research your questions.

HTH. Good luck.
