When you said "The idea of a support board is that we are here to help each other, and most importantly to listen to each other. It is totally naturally to get frustrated, to search for answers, and to want something more", I totally agree.
If the posts irritate you, it is better not to read them and to let someone else respond who can offer some support, advice, or just some sympathy. IBS is very hard on us physically and emotionally...especially when you haven't found relief. You seem to be doing pretty well. But others, myself included, still struggle with horrific pain and symptoms every single day. This is very tiring...and these boards literally save lives when you have no place else to turn and all you want to do is cry because the pain won't stop and you are racking your brain to figure out how to feel just a little better, so that you don't want to just jump off a cliff!
