I am wondering if scientist need to keep researching this subject. It runs in my mother's and father's family. It may be we just have whimpy GI tracts and are more prone to such problems.

I've had IBS for almost 4 years, my mom and my youngest brother were just diagnosed last year, and my middle brother is starting to show symptoms. I don't know, maybe something in the water?

My Mum's got a pretty good stomach, although my Dad actually has Crohn's which IS hereditary. However the GI I saw was pretty sure what I had wasn't Crohn's.

Don't cry Gerry! We don't want to make you cry!
What's going on with your head & back? Do you know anything yet, or do you have to wait till the 6th to find out?
BTW - we are trying to get up a meeting in Vegas in the fall. Have you heard about it yet? If we come there, will you come out and play with us?
Shirl - didn't mean to hijack your thread here! lol Just in case you were wondering, I don't know of anyone else in my family with IBS, but I have heard others say they have other members in their family with it. Didn't mean to seem rude.

Yep, my mother has IBS too. They just won't admit that it's hereditary because they haven't been able to scientifically prove it yet... but there are a lot of unproven things that are just true. 
Gerry, it's good to have you back!! I had been wondering where you were too. I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well.

We missed you, Gerry. You're wrong; we DO care. Many a night when I can't sleep I come online and look for you. Always disappointed when you're not there.
The doc said to stay away from the computer for awhile -- because of the glasses? Or some other reason? I need to stay away awhile myself -- and spend it exercising instead! But that's another issue....
Hope you're feeling better. Bad headache, eh? Try sleeping in a recliner, where your head is raised higher than it would be in bed. That helps me when a migraine wakes me up; I come in here, have some tea while looking for you on the computer, then fall back asleep in the recliner, and when I wake up my headache is gone.
Hope you don't have to stay away from us for long.
Your friend,
Bev
