Dear Visitors: WELCOME TO MY NEW, & ONGOING, BLOG! I chose this calming springtime scene with a sunlit path in hopes I may be able to point IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) sufferers down a healthier and happier path in the future.
Let me introduce myself: I am a 70 year old grandmother who suffered for too many years with gastrointestinal problems, went through all the specialist recommended medical tests, yet no one was able to aliviate my suffering or give me a true diagnosis. It got so bad that, out of sheer desperation, I searched medical journals, talked to several doctors and combed the internet, eventually finding a couple of sites eight years ago that led me to the one site that helped me self-diagnose my problems as IBS, and literally gave me back my life: www.helpforibs.com run by Heather Van Vorous, a woman I have thanked profusely many times. (I am in no way connected to her site, nor paid for recommending her site and products). If you are right now in gut distress with severe gas, bloating, diarrhea or constiption or your bowel habits and stool have changed over the past few months, try going to her site and find help for yourself. Later on, after following her guidelines for IBS and finding relief, I did confirm the diagnoses with a knowledgeable General Practitioner.

AND I SUGGEST THAT YOU IS SEE YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES IN YOUR EATING AND LIFESTYLE HABITS.
If you are having a severe IBS attack, see my coping suggestions on Page 3
It is my wish that through this blog I may be able to make suggestions to other IBS sufferers to bring them the possibility of a calm and friendly tummy, and healthy serenity into their lives. Prunella
