Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I really haven't posted in a long time but come back once in a while. More recently I have been lurking since I had a setback with antibiotics and it messed my stomach up for the holidays. Only good thing was I lost 10lbs! My life has been good and my family is doing well. My son is 6 years old today and my daughter turned 3 in November. I am disappointed to see that the forum is not the same comfortable place that it use to be. It is true that many of the "oldies" left because of too much drama.
Some advice for some of the new people, this board was a saving grace for me back in 2004. I had just had a baby and was miserable and wasting away to nothing from not eating. The friends that i made here got me through some very difficult times. I took advice, did trial and error and listened to my body and did what worked for me. I am so thankful for this site and constantly refer people to it that have any stomach issues. Remember that we are all in the same boat and that many of us get flack from the people around us in our everyday life about our stomach issues. The last place you need that is here where it should be a fun, comforting, safe and pleasant atmosphere!
I wish all of you many happy tummy days and a happy 2010!

God Bless!
