Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | I finally had a second to register!

Hello all,

I have been reading this message board all summer and I have found wonderful advice and recipies. I always view it quickly at work (opps...bad me) so I never have time to register. I just want you all to know that I get so excited every time I read the posts because you all are finding substitutions for my favorite foods that I thought would be off limits forever...which was so depressing as you all know.

I was diagnosed with IBS in December of my sophmore year in college (I will be a senior this at Syracuse University). I had been sick all of my life, but it got substancially worse that year due to stress. I ended up losing about 15 pounds and I was down to 89. All of my friends were convinced I was anorexic, which just added to the stress. It was a LONG HAUL from there! Luckily, thanks to Heather's books, my mom, and this message board I have gained most of the weight back and I get far fewer attacks.

I hope you all know how great it is to read about everyone who has experienced similar struggles and problems. I have found that support is one of the most important factors in IBS, so this board is fabulous! Thanks again to everyone, and I'm sure this won't be the last you hear from me
