Hi Steph, This is my first "post" -- I am new to this. I signed up Thursday and have been reading all the IBS stuff. You seem like someone who is very compassionate
I am so sorry about your rough colonoscopy!! (And about your Mom ) I have never had a colonoscopy, and you and those who have are Super Heros!! It totally freaks me out to think about getting one. I have had IBS-D for 13 years -- it runs in the family I go through ups and downs with it, and this down got me to (again) go searching for more help.....Heather's site. It has been very helpful to to read about other people's IBS situations. Thanks to all for sharing!! It helps so much to know that I am not the only one in the world who struggles with this restricting syndrome. I also got some good info about immodium -- that you can take it more often than I thought. That bit of info is definetly a life saver for me!! I have been struggling all this time thinking that immodium isn't good to take for more than a day or two at a time.
Well, I hope you are feeling better real soon!! If you have any suggestions for getting around the "Living Room and the Message Boards" please pass them on. The only way I could figure to get a message out was to reply to one.
