Just wanted to introduce myself properly. I usually just browse the site without writing anything, but i thought, why not go for it? I'm 23, and have had ibs since I was 17. I am also lactose intolerant and have recently been diagnosed with delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis). I am pursuing my master's degree and was almost done when my ibs flared up pretty bad and i was diagnosed with the gp. As a result I've had to put my thesis on hold and have moved in with my parents for the summer so i can get better medical assistance. (So now i currently live in Maryland). I have looked through the entire site and have some of the books, so i am pretty aware of all that. Right now I guess what I'm looking for is people that can empathize with me and also talk about regular things with. My family is not very understanding, but I do have a boyfriend who is very wonderful about all of this, but he doesn't live here.  Anyways, i have rambled long enough  From reading the posts, I can see that you all are very nice, and I hope you'll welcome me!!
