Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I'm sorry if you guys don't agree with my suggestion... It really works for me and I can digest it really well.
Maybe I don't have IBS as bad as some of you and also I am in a great phase with it.
However, I also think that sometimes the FEARS of certain foods can make us sicker. I know some of you may not agree with this, but there is a freedom of speech in this country and on this board and I want to use it.
I know that for MYSELF when I was in the midst of IBS hell, even a little ghee would make me sick. But Honestly, so much of what was making me sick was my overwhelming anxiety, and my anxiety towards almost every food on the planet.
What I notice about these boards is a lot of anxiety. There is a lot of amazing support and love and incredible suggestions, but there is also a lot of anxiety. Understandibly so. I was more than there myself not too long ago, and I still have anxiety with other issues and with this one.... I just want to call attention to the idea that being afraid of foods (which I TOTALLY EMPATHIZE WITH) can make you unable to digest them. Maybe that's not the case for everyone on this board but it's the case for me. But if this idea can help just one person, then I'd feel happy.
Also, with this post about Ghee.... I was trying to point out that in other cultures they think that these kinds of things can help you. Sick people ingest Ghee with herbs to make them feel better. Maybe if u have horrible D they don't give it to you, I'm not sure.... But it seems to be easy to digest for me and other people... It got reccomended to me by a world renoun Ayruvedic practictioner when I was in the midst of IBS... So I dunno...
We all have different bodies and nothing, not even the diet on this website, is going to work for everyone. Other cultures and other dietitians have ideas of what works. As individuals our makeups are all so different, and our issues are all so different, that different things work for all of us.
I guess I feel frustration with this website sometimes and with any other movement that claims to have the only correct answer. I encourage all of you to research your issues and your health and find what works... and you may find that this is the perfect answer for you after all that searching.... In any case, just really putting in my two cents... Sorry if I offended anyone...
