I can appreciate your sentiments. I come at IBS from a directly opposite point of view from Syl. Yet, he has proven very helpful to the board and he is very considerate and non-argumentative like many of the brainy male posters can be on other forums! So it is great to have various stances on IBS and of course lots of personal experience and suggestions on this board. We have overcome a lot of differences here and all grown. Some people have more of a left-side brain and others a right-side brain if you know what I mean. I feel both the technical and the everyday advice is worthwhile to posters here.
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
