Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I still have to be conscious of what I eat. My system is by no means perfect. But I don't consider myself to have IBS...not sure I ever did! I don't follow the IBS diet (anymore...did when I thought I had IBS), but I know so much about it since I did follow it. And I still use some of the general guidelines to keep my system working well. I stick around this site to try to help others in any way I can even though I don't really have IBS. I just love the people on this board and I know how you all feel and how you struggle. I do still consider myself to have an abnormal digestive system (partially from having part of my colon removed). But I don't have any food limiations or anything. I just have to be sure I eat very high fiber foods (I can eat as much IF as I like), drink tons of water, get exercise every day and keep my anxiety under control. Hope that clarifies things a bit.
