Yesterday, I ran out of my Oscar body bath, so I had to make a trip to the Mall today. I got to joking around with the lady at the Macy's Fragrance Counter while she was preparing my bill, and I commented on the bowl of coffee beans in front of me. (I asked her if I could have them.) Damn they smelled good! (Did you know they use those coffee beans for customers to smell in between all the different fragrances, to "neutralize" the odors?) When I told her I couldn't have coffee because of my IBS, she said, "Oh, I used to have IBS!"
"USED to?" I asked. "You mean you had it but were HEALED?"
"Well, I've been in remission for so long now that I don't even think about it anymore."
" WHAAAT?!" I said, in total shock.
"I've been totally symptom-free for the past ten years. I used to have to take an anti-spasmodic every day -- for four years. Now I don't think about it at all, no cramps, no nothing. Oh, I still take all my fiber, and of course I eat right and exercise, but no symptoms at all. No, I don't think about my IBS anymore -- not AT ALL."
"Wow," I responded, "How'd you do it?"
"It was all diet -- proper food -- and exercise."

So, folks, I'm here to tell ya, it can happen. You know, she really MADE MY DAY!
