Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I am so happy to hear from you...and that you are feeling so much better. I've been wondering about you and posted to you about a month ago here Wendy?

I see so much optimism in your post! Seriously...I am blown away! This was all from anxiety???? Maybe this is part of my answer except that I do go through the same issues as other posters. I had the symptoms before finding the website...so I'm not sure.

Me too! The doctor is threatening to put me in a hospital because I have lost too much weight.

Who is Gaia? How did you find this CBT doctor? Were you able to keep working during this time...at the same job? Do you like your job better now?

Oh, I have so many questions (as usual)!

Did you have to take or are you taking any medications to help?

Any suggestions to share?

How long were you in therapy?

Can you drink coffee and diet soda and just eat whatever you want now? Like a "normal person"?

No more reading labels or anything? Wow! Real pizza and cheesy italian foods!!! French fries, burgers, any fruit or veggie, yogurt and ice cream and sugar free sweeteners, wheat bread and whole grain cereals....the culinary world is now so huge for you. And the freedom is the best part. The loss of the fear. I give you so much credit for being brave enough to try these new foods, Wendy. I'm afraid I am too ingrained in my thoughts by now.

And no supplements at all? Like SFS? WOW!

I will miss your posts and your wonderful sense of humor. I would love to email you sometime if you'd like...but I can certainly understand not wanting to hear from anyone or anything that has to do with IBS!

And this was not a gloat post at all!!! You have given hope to all who have not found their answers yet.

I know what you mean about always wondering if you may have IBS....as I keep telling myself there was reason why I researched this website out. Do you think that ever goes away?
