You wrote me the sweetest message on the living room. thank you so so so much. we were the same age when our ibs started. 15...not so much fun having to think about farts with your first boyfriend etc!! It was me that went round the world!! I would suggest that you go to south east asia rather then south america for your first trip because south east asia is much more bowel friendly (yep..bloody bowels coming first again!) - its all rice and rice noodles and noodle soups and vegies...very light carb based food whereas south america is more oily and cheesy and beany...I might be wrong though..I mean south america have bread too!!You should go where you want though! I basically told my IBS to shove it when I embarked on my trip..nothing was going to stop me! I was still drinking in my first two years of leeds and finally gave it up when I realised during my final year that my hangovers lasted ten times longer then anyone elses ie IBS!! I loved the night life there!!! Is Tequila still up and going for the ultimate cheese fest??? Thats an awful-hysterical place!! I'm not that into rnb...more trance and house...love to boogie though!! The drinking WILL calm down as you approach your final year...people get more serious then. Where are you living? I know exactly where your campus is, and you are talking about the Holland and Barratt inside the little shopping centre with Morrisons! Glad to hear they have rice milk..they had nothing when i was there! Thank you so much again for your reply on the living room...really made me feel understood and so supported...and like you..I WISH I could have had this board when I first got IBS... Lots of love XXX
