Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Make sure that tea is decaf!

Welcome to the Boards. You came to the right place. Your doctor diagnosed IBS? Did you have a colonoscopy?

The first thing to do is get Heather's book, "The First Year." Check the link to your left. If it were me, I'd zoom out to the closest book store and get it right away, then I'd curl up in bed with a cup of "Tummy Mint" herbal tea, and read it cover-to-cover. You will get SOOOO much better when you do!

Also, be sure to ask any and all questions about IBS in the IBS Diet Board. Everyone is very helpful, and we've certainly heard it all, so don't be shy! The Living Room here is where we just natter and schmooze about non-IBS stuff. You'll enjoy playing the "What Is It?" game. (I'm terrible at it.)

Are you a C or a D? An A? I'm a D (never had C, thankfully). Do you like to cook? You'll love the Recipe Board -- great dishes in there!

You'll need a good soluble fiber supplement. A lot of us take Heather's acacia -- it's great stuff! Check the link to your left.

Again, welcome! You'll be glad you came.

Bev
