Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hello everyone, I am new to the board. Heather I just received your book and it is wonderful!
I found the website a week ago. I have been dealing with IBSw/c symptoms for over five years. I have been through all tests listed in your book plus many others. I am scheduled for exploratory surgery in March to rule out any adhesions or endometriosis. My symptoms have been so severe the GI doctor has hinted at disability from my job. I refuse this! He has me on Zelnorm and Robinul, they do not offer much relief. So far your diet has eased my symptoms. I have been on it for four days but feel I am going to have to limit myself to just a few safe foods to get everything under control. Suggested diets in the past have included many of the trigger foods. This is all a new learning experience but I am excited that I have found something I believe will work for me. I have been out to restaurants twice since finding help on your website. Each was more than happy to make changes I requested to dishes on the menus. It is the first time I left a restaurant in a long time without needing something for pain!
