Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Newbie saying hello and thank you

Hi everyone! I have been reading the boards for about a month and have posted a couple of times, but I wanted to actually say hello and thank you. I have learned so much just by reading people's posts. So far all my questions have been answered before I even asked them. And I have discovered Luna Bars. I am 27 and have had IBS since I was 13. I thought I was just lactose intolerant for a long time and haven't really eaten dairy since I was 15. My IBS got worse during law school (I am sure you are all surprised) and worse again during my parents divorce (what a mess that was). Thanks to Heather's book and this site and the boards, I am doing much better. Oh, I am mostly D but my meds, nulev, are making me a bit C -- definitely a new phenomenon for me. Last December was particularly bad, my attacks were more frequent and I was having panic attacks. I did the hypnosis CD, which helped the panic attacks completely. Sorry this is so long. Just wanted to say hi and with the weekend/week we've had on the boards just wanted to let you all know that your questions and responses are GREATLY appreciated.
