Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

It's so good to know there are others out there who understand and are willing to listen to each other and lend their advice and support. I have a lot of work to do and a lot of learning to do regarding this subject. I wish I had started years ago. But at least I know where I can go with questions now. I'm sure most of you have "heard it all". I need to find some motivation and adopt a "just do it" attitude.

Growing up Italian has and always will be a challenge for me. Everything we do revolves around food. There isn't a single occassion that food is NOT the main focus. It is very difficult and I really dont and cant expect my family to change their ways after alllllll these many years. They do support me and will even say to me - dont do it... you know you'll be sorry tomorrow ... when I'm about to eat something unsafe. But simply put - I have to make the decision not to put unsafe foods in my mouth. I have to be stronger and more motivated.

Again... I just wanted to say thanks for all your words.
I'm glad to be a part of this community of caring individuals.
