I found out that I had IBS last year after 3 months of very painful testing and loss of 45 pounds but I thank GOD that every morning I wake up and see my children. I honestly thought I was going to die because no one could explain what was happening. I was told about Eating for IBS by a fellow co-worker and it has worked wonders for me. My only problem is when I start to feel better I start to cheat on my diet. My husband helps me a great deal with my diet. He has been a tremendous help to me because no one in my family understands what I am going through. My mother went as far as to tell me that I was faking for attention. How could I have faked it if I had never heard of it!! I was looking through the postings and decided to reply. I just ask for support so I can stick to my diet and lead a healthy life. I don't want to see my kids cry because mommy has a tummy ache. Thanks for hearing me out and God Bless!!
