Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Good (not crazy!) online resources for natural health

My roommate is a supplement & natural healing NUT. You should see the amount of pills and vials of "potions" she uses!

She knows of my struggle with stomach/digestive discomfort as we've talked quite a bit about it. She's always suggesting websites, supplements (other than the ones Heather suggests), "dr's" (which i don't automatically trust), and other natural healing methods.

I know and trust the ways that Heather has promoted healing for IBS - diet, exercise, stress reduction, yoga and alternative therapy. Those methods are reasonable and make sense.

What I want to know is what other resources are out there that are trustworthy and not coming from some "crazy" spouting nonsense that sounds good to make you buy their pills or follow their advise.

Can anyone offer suggestions? I know I'm up against the same situation here - everyone has their own opinions and some may (inadvertently) have fallen prey to those false "teachers" & put their trust in them.

But thought I'd see what I could get from all of you. I want desperately to heal myself - my WHOLE self - but i don't want to spend a fortune on bogus remedies & experts.

Help?
