There are all kinds of theories -- but no one knows. If they did, we'd have a "fix" for it. One day they'll come across a gene or virus or something -- but I'll be 8 feet under by then!
Meanwhile, we just have to learn how to work around it. And these Boards are the BEST way to do that. I found that the books help -- of course I'm talking about HEATHER's books! -- but talking with others who have the same problem and are looking for the same fix, trying different options and finding out what works and what doesn't -- is the best and fastest way to get through that "trial-and-error" phase.
I've been stable for months, thanks to these Boards. You can too. And I look at IBS as a blessing -- that's right, a blessing -- because it forces me to eat right, keeps me from pigging out on cookies and candy, pies and cakes, and of course my beloved coffee. [Sigh.] I'm not kidding; I eat all the right stuff now, I don't cheat, and I'm doing pretty damn good! I have no complaints -- and for all of this I have my IBS to thank.
Do you buy that?
