Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hey, I'm new to the IBS community and I am just amazed at how many people have the same condition I have and are willing to be open and talk about it. I currently have IBS-D and my story is eerily similar to a lot of people in this network. I have dealt with it for a majority of my life and have learned to cope with it and just recently I purchased Heather's book Eating for IBS. My main attacks come from anxiety and traumatic experiences related to school. I got through high school and two years of college but did not finish. I am currently going back to the University of Georgia to finish a degree in Financial Planning, but I am terrified about how my anxiety will affect me. I am just looking for any help anyone can provide because I have researched all the medicines, techniques,forums etc. and any help anyone can give will be great. My anxiety is so great it keeps me from focusing and I feel like the walls are closing in on me. I just want to be able to go to class, excel and not have to worry about these things. Will the eating for IBS book help me to control this once I completely eliminate all triggers from my diet or do I need other assistance? Will First Year IBS help? I apologize if anyone has commented on this before. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys. If Heather could respond, that would be awesome lol My email address is weisor05@gmail.com. Thank you everyone.
