This sounds all to familiar! I am in college (senior at Syracuse University), but I was diagnosed with IBS my sophmore year when I too was living in a dorm. Like your daughter, I was losing a ton of weight and my mom was going crazy trying to figure out what to do for me. My mom was a wreck...she was crying also and said she hated to see me so tortured. It is torturing and I know where your daughter is at right now. It feels like an uphill battle, but it can get so much easier if she talks to people about it. Please have her email me and I can try to help answer some of her questions and explain what I did. To give you an idea of how sick I was, I went from about 107 to 88 pounds in less than a year (and now I am at 105). My mom was beside herself. The best thing she did for me was support me and offer to help me in any way possible. She would send me homemade breads from Heather's book and she would email Heather with questions. I think you should contact her because she knows exactly where you are comming from. She went throught the same thing and I know she would want to help you. Her email is Taxi275@aol.com and her name is Robin. She will have lots of advice and support for you! My email is KrisBact7@aol.com and feel free to contact me anytime, and tell your daughter to also because I would love to help her!
