Hello and Welcome BRE!! Many of us do also suffered from acid reflux and other problems. I take a small dose of pepcid for my acid reflu and that keeps it unders control mostly.
Just an FYI, here in The Living Room is a great place to chitty chat about non ibs stuff. Sure, we all have ibs so it does come up here but for the most advice on IBS stuff, post it in the diet section.
If you want to chat about your dog, as most of us are animal lovers here, this is the place to do it! I noticed you said you didn't have any kids YET, are you think about it? Just curious because there are several girls who are pregnant right now and several of us, myself included, trying to have babies!
Anyway, Welcome to the boards and hope to see you around!
