Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | would love to say 'hello'

Hello. My name is Magi and I'm from Gloucestershire in the UK. I've lived with what I now know is ibs for many years, probably since my mid teens - believe me thats quite a while ago now!!!! I came accross Heathers book 'The first year' while idling away a bit of time in a book shop recently. I'd always known that I could have an effect on my problems by watching what I eat but had basically just learnt to eat what didnt make me ill. Also I'd put up with any reactions to treats when I had had enough of being good and needed to treat myself! What an eye opener I found in that book. I've tried having things, that before I would avoid, by going with soluble fibre first and its made a huge difference. I still avoid dairy and fats but thats okay. I've only been on it for about a week and already I feel amazingly better. I feel like I've been bloated since I can remember but this week I've discovered that I actually have a waistline!!!!!! Well, thats me - no-one special - but truly grateful for browsing that book shop (and finding this website). Hopefully I can look in whenever I find a spare moment and keep in touch. Thanx for listening. Bye for now.
