Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I have been on the site for years...and when I first started out back in 2005....it was Heather's diet that really did it for me. Through regular practice and having a base to go off, I was able to understand, learn, and see what hurts me. I was obsessive about this...but now am I lot more relaxed. I have learned there are good and bad weeks.
None of this would not have possible had it not been for me finding this website and having the wonderful support from various people. I haven't been on the site much of late. I paid a visit today...and was disturbed to see sand's post "enabling."
I did not quite understand what was trying to be addressed. To me it appeared the site is going downhill from the days were it really helped an OCD person who had no clue on dieting, eating, and was fixed on his body get under control. I really found this to be discomforting...because I also felt secure knowing that if I had a rough week...the same site was there for help.
Dr.s and nutritionists helped me....but the majority came from this site because here I could everyday for help...and get specific help for my diet. Other health professionals would have contradicting advice yet the advice here was by the far the most consistent. I don't know what I would do if it was not for this site...I really don't because I had a good nutritionist...and yet the advice there included many triggers. I'd be going to the doctor all the time and a nervous mess.
I'd just like to know...since I have not been a regular in a year....what is going in regards to Sand's post? Is the site still the same resource it was...if another person like me is in dire need of help...heck if I have a bad week...does this site still have the same excellent support....or is falling down...because after reading Sand's post...I felt sad this was the case.
Thanks.
