Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | New to this board.............

Dear Hearts;
I'm a 30 year old guy in NYC that was suffering so bad from IBS I actually had to quit school where I was a double major in mathematics and biochemistry.U was crippled with IBS when I was about to finally enter graduate school after many delays.I was suffering so bad from spasms and had given up all hope until I found Heather's site and related sites and took control of my illness.This diet is killing me and I'm scared to death of graduate school without coffee-but now it looks like I'll at least HAVE a future.It's helped me get it under control,but living with it is SO hard.I'd KILL for a steak and a cup of coffee without pain for one day.Breaks my heart.Anyway,I have 2 questions:1)my brother is bringing home fresh venison from his hunt.Can I HAVE that?Teachnically it's red meat and a no no,I know.But venison is so low in fat!2)Also,I was just wondering,although this IS the recipe board and may not be the place for it-do any of u find that you get severe IBS attacks late at night regardless of how good you felt in the daytime and if you're sticking to the diet?Anyway,I wanted to commend you all on your creativity and passion-with a board like this filled with wonderful cooking ideas,it makes living with this bearable at least.
Sincerely,
Andrew L.
