Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: I am just so greatful!

Welcome aboard Hay, I completely agree. I found this site about 5 or 6 weeks ago and it has been so extremely helpful. Not only for my symptoms, but on an emotional level as well. It's really hard to have these constant symptoms but feel like you need to keep all the feelings that come up around them inside b/c others (those without IBS) just don't want to hear about it. Honestly I often get the feeling that other people think I'm exaggerating or that I'm just a big baby and need to just cowboy up... If they only knew that I've been cowboying up for 20 years now and we all have our thresholds (I think I've reached my max capacity for this stuff).

Anyway, I'm very happy to see that you've found this site and hope that you'll be able to follow Heather's suggestions and start to lead a better quality of life (I'm assuming that your quality of life hasn't been so great, forgive me if I'm wrong).

You might want to post some information about yourself - You may have noticed that many people modify their signature to indicate the types of symptoms they have. This is really helpful for others when they are trying to provide advise for you.

Best of luck and Happy to see you!
