  1. My book Sophie's Story: My 20-Year Battle with IBS now available as signed copy for UK sufferers! Visit ibstales.com/sophies-story.… for details.
  2. @lhjHealthLadies Can you help? I wrote article on my IBS for LHJ, I was paid last year, trying to find out when it will b published. Thanks!
  3. @SolvingIBS Thanks!
  4. @penort Mine was just trial and error, although big culprits for IBSers seem to be gluten, dairy, red meat, alchohol and a few others.
  5. @penort Am about 90% better on strict diet and supplements. Symptoms controlled rather than cured really. Hope you like the book!
  6. @mmmbopbop Thanks Vickie - I've had it since age 12 too. It's definitely a nightmare, and ppl think it can be cured by calming down a bit!!
  7. @penort Sorry to hear about your daughter. Can't promise book will help as it is memoir rather than self-help book. Hope things improve.
  8. Sophie's Story: My 20-Year Battle with IBS is now out in a Kindle edition. See here for details: ibstales.com/sophies-story.…
  9. @mmmbopbop Thanks Vickie - I am in UK, just didn't click that TAB meant Take a Break. Got a copy today, thanks v much for heads-up!
  10. @mmmbopbop Thanks Vickie! Very glad you like the site. Can I ask what TAB is? Is it a website?
  11. @ibsimpact @Jules_GastroRD Not sure IBS Awareness Month happens over here. We have Gut Week in the summer usually.
  12. @RedMagDaily Many thanks for mentioning my book "Sophie's Story: My 20-Year Battle with IBS" in Red this month! Great mag as always!
  13. @Jules_GastroRD I talk about my IBS all the time, but it's def not taken seriously. Many think it's a mild, inconvenience problem. Not so.
  14. @Quad2222 Yes, that was my professional response.
  15. @Quad2222 Because I'm an evil, evil person who eats bunnies for breakfast.
  16. @DoctorChristian Would love to see docu on IBS. Millions of people have it, some very badly, and is much misunderstood.
  17. New on the IBS Tales blog: Habba Syndrome, and does IBS-D even exist?! ibstales.com/blog/habba-syn…
  18. @washwellbeing Thanks for article on IBS! Have had IBS for 20 years, and it often get treated as a minor complaint. Can be awful though.
  19. @drmarkporter Hi doc - any chance of a feature on IBS? Much mis-understood disorder that can be horrible if severe. Had it for 20 years.
