Hiya Susie,
Glad to hear you are doing well on the the plan, I think there definitely seems to be something to it, even just having an idea of how the blimmin thing works/what sets it off is so valuable. After 4 years of fairly moderate symptoms day to day I have just been 'properly' diagnosed with IBS after a bug that I got in August which has knocked my tum for six ever since. Even though the specialist was very nice and sympathetic he didnt even attempt to offer any kind of advice of what I could do going forward! I've got to say thank god I stumbled across this site and I know feel educated enough to know what to do - I hate to think what kind of a state I'd be in otherwise - probably hibernating or continuously attached to the loo I guess!
I'm actually fairly embarrassed to say that I am being dragged out to Crawley to got to er... Bingo! I've only ever been once but a friend of mine loves it so a few of us are going up there for 'support', should be interesting! I'm just hoping my guts will stay under control, there's nothing like a good bit of IBS anxiety to mess up an evening! I dont know Crawley at all actually, though my friend actually comes from round those parts so she should be a bit more knowledgeable!
Well, I hope you end up having a good weekend even though you've got to work. If you ever fancy a chinwag just give me a shout, I don't know about you but I don't know anyone personally who suffers from IBS and it's really refreshing and comforting to talk to others who go through the same thing, makes me feel a bit less freakish!
Have a good one
