Hi Jennifer, Thank you for responding! I actually just bought Heather's book recently and plan on starting to read it tonight. I am so happy to find out that I am not the only one on Earth going through this. I was having a hard time believing IBS could give me such awful chronic pelvic pains, but the more I read and hear from people like you I believe it more and more. It's a very scary thing that I've been dealing with for this past year because no one could tell me anything. I am so happy that I found this site and am able to talk to people who actually understand!
