Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I just wanted to say Hi! I just found this website yesterday and there is so much information. I already ordered the two books and they will arrive here in about 10 days i guess.

I have had problems for 5 years already but i heard a lot of "its all between your ears" because i had been depressed just before it started. I know i wasnt exagerating but most doctors wouldnt believe me.
The first doctor that did believe me, did a few tests to make sure i didnt have anything else, said i had IBS and told me to eat a lot of fibres, especially Allbran and Whole wheat bread, atleast 8 slices a day. And i could eat everything.

Well you all can understand how im feeling reading all this information.. They told me so much wrong stuff through the years!! Omg.. started crying yesterday when i read it. I have been at home all day for a few years already, not able to do much at all because of the severity of IBS and getting cranky a lot while i was so cheerful before. Now maybe.. with the help of Heather, i can be myself again!

Since im going to move in a few weeks i for now will keep my eyes a bit on what i eat and after we are completely finished with moving i will change my eating pattern radically. Didnt seem like a good idea to do both this instant

I cant wait to start changing it all!

Btw, i always had blood with my stool, not much at all and not everytime but still.. and now i read that isnt IBS at the site. Do i have to worry they might still have the wrong disease for me?
