Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

You have to learn some patience. I don't know how many times it has been repeated to you that it takes time for this to work.
I have asked you twice about what your doctors have said and if you are on any medication, but you have not answered my questions.
Often, like I have said to you in the past, it takes more than JUST diet (and CERTAINLY more than 3 days) to get stable.
I take offense to your suggestion that Heather LIED to you, I think that was very rude and although we all sympathise with your frustrating, but Heather is trying to help people and the diet isn't WRONG, it doesn't work perfectly, it doesn't work alone and it doesn't change your attitude.

Speaking of which, I find your attitude to be so poor that I would assume it is one of the reasons you are having so much trouble. You continue to insinuate that we on the boards are MAKING you sacrifice your whole life, when we aren't making you do anything. We are trying to help you, full stop. If you don't want to take our advice, no one is forcing you. I agree with what someone else wrote in a previous post, you have to start taking responsibility.. So you don't want to learn how to cook? That's too bad. It sucks, but if you want to get better, you do it.
YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION.

It sucks, but you have to get to a point where you can say, "I have to deal with this, and being pissed off and feeling sorry for myself isn't going to change anything."
You have it pretty good compared to a lot of people I have spoken to in the past with IBS - You aren't housebound, you can work, you can socialise, you go to school... Count your blessings, because it could be a lot worse and you have support, which a lot of people don't.

Have you started the food diary we have all suggested to you? Have you asked at the school what the ingredients in the bagels are?
You might have to buy your OWN bagels, check the ingredients, and eat them if it comes to it. Not all bagels are made with the same stuff.
And it might not even be the bagel, you have to give this time.

We can be here to support you, but you need to respect the people that are taking time out of their lives to try and help you.
