I'm posting out frustration and also for feedback. I'm 26, IBS restricts my ability to get treated for muscle spasms, it hinders my social life and work life.
Heather keeps making claims about how IBS can be controlled and how people can manage it, I've tried to follow HER diet for five years (I can post you a log if you'd like).
The only other option is to go shell out $$$$ to see one Heather's recommended RDs/GIs...try yoga/hypno/acupuncture...try teas...try peppermint...but after ALL I have tried it seems to be more or less a waste.
IBS refuses to get better, I think Heather's quote is full of it. I'm glad life is all well and good for her, frankly at age 26 I WISH I HAD CANCER. I don't want to live another 50 years if it has to be with IBS.
Why would Yoga or Hypno help if a restrive diet/exercise/psychotherapy haven't?
I'm glad Heather got lucky, but the rest of us ain't so peachy. I'm tired of spending Friday nights in because "I can't drink with IBS" and yet still looking like a fat out shape couch potatoe because "IBS causes more bloating and distension."
What Heather? What do you have to say? Try 10 more things, devote more hours and time??
