Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Welcome!!

And no, there's pretty much an unwritten rule - you don't need apologize for offering to much information here - we're very open and understanding.

Sounds like you have reflux - does the peppermint tab help or hinder it? I have a hiatle hernia and peppermint doesn't bother me, but kills my mum who also has HH. I don't suffer from bloating, so unfortunately, I can't offer much advice there. I'm A - both diarrhea and constipation. (You'll see people post they are A, D or C. A is both, D is primarily diarrhea, C is primarily constipation.)

And I love your Britishisms. I have a few friends in the UK and there are quite a few here on the board as well.

The best thing to do is read a lot - poke around the board - the Diet board is where we discuss foods, the fitness board, well fitness, and the living room is usually off-IBS topics and chats. Ask questions! Someone is bound to answer.

Have you started on Heather's diet? I, like most people here, found it extremely helpful. And I've done the hypnosis cds twice. It may take you a while to adjust and become stable, but once you have it all figured out, it really works.

Welcome aboard! Good luck and hugs!
