Hello, my name is Rusty, I am IBS-A, for probably over 8 years now. I've been lurking the boards for a while and finally decided to introduce myself and start talking to everybody (I'm shy, even on the internet). My IBS started when I was a teenager, shortly before I lost my mother to cancer. I've struggled with it off and on, and always when I seem to get the upper hand I manage to end up feeling worse in the end. I just got married, and so decided that it's finally time to make some drastic changes to my life style. Just this week I started using Acacia and ordered some fennel tea (as bloating is the bane of my existence), have recently given up caffeine and alcohol, and am gearing up for cutting dairy out. I'm really sad to be giving up dairy and changing my diet (I love food!), since I'm already vegetarian (it one more thing to live without)… but I guess its time to take control of my life.
Anyway, I'm starting to ramble so….
