It really doesn't at all!!!
Once one understands the basics of some level of stability and prevention of attacks, we can help one another with questions and practical suggestions, and tasty recipes. We also are needing some level of sympathy and encouragement, where we may not find such in our lives elsewhere.
Some of this head stuff reminds me of people who know the bible forward and backwards, can recite specific scripture in a heartbeat, but do not practice practical application in their own lives as an encouraging example to others. Sad, but true.
I am a Christian senior woman, yet am careful who I spend significant time with or allow to influence me with their head knowledge, absent them being a living example of encouragement and on the right path themselves.
If I wanted, or felt I needed a college education and degree in IBS to remain stable, I would go to college. I simply don't feel nor believe such is necessary at all. For those who want such, great! For those of us who don't, leave us alone!
Many of us have made it clear that we don't want to get into all the technical studies about IBS. We are looking for practical answers to consider for personal symptom control, and that's the only reason why we are here.
