Hey now! Not much activity here on the FYBDW. I was talking to a kid down here at JMU who is a regular at the IBS support group therapy sessions at the east campus library where I work sometimes. He was telling me that he met a really nice girl there and is now going steady with her. Just imagine that, a nice young couple being brought together by IBS. That is a great life lesson right there, it

Something I learned on this thread a year or two ago came in handy today. I was visiting one of my kids in Fairfax and stayed overnight last night. On my way home this morning while driving on interstate 81 I cut what I thought was a big fart that turned out to be a liquid shit. I don't remember who wrote about this but I remembered the trick. I went into a rest area stall and dropped my pants bu

Hi bib's! I've been getting caught up on the thread sounds like lots of folks are still struggling with their 33 feet. I will say a little prayer for everybody. Good luck with your appointment on Monday Brown Onion. We all know what we should be eating but it is just human nature to eat some really delicious food even when we know it is a weapon of ass destruction. Yesterday I left my wallet at

Hi there bib's We sure are having wonderful weather for this time of year. Down here in Harrisonburg the JMU kids have corn hole tournaments going everywhere! Thinking about corn hole got me thinking about FYBDW. The students with IBS are still having their weekly support meetings at the east campus library. I still wish I could join them but they would probably be uncomfortable talking to a 50

Happy weekend bib's! Mrs. Dive and I are going on a RV trip to watch the super bowl on TV with friends next weekend, we are headed to the gulf coast of Florida. We love RVing but Mrs Dive does not love it when I have to take a dump in the tiny toilet that is within the confined space of our camp trailer! We are hopefully going to get a campsite near the bath-house so I can make the dash there wh

Good morning friends, I've finally recovered from the bowel medication that was prescribed by a board certified GI "doctor". My experience with the medication included a trip to the emergency room, yes it was that bad! Thank God we have great health insurance. The so-called doctor left a message on my voicemail saying that I need to call and set up another appointment for some further "treatment"

Well the medication that the doctor gave me seems to have shut my digestive system down. I have not pooped in two and a half days and counting and I am feeling really bloated and weak. Of course today being a holiday the doctor's office is closed. I am not taking any more of this VIBERZI medicine.

Good morning BiB's! I hope you are all enjoying the holiday weekend. I have been catching up on this thread and as usual there are all kinds of interesting things going on. My doctor is putting me on a drug called VIBERZI which is supposed to help with my IBS. I don't hold out too much hope though because every doctor I have ever consulted about my bowel problems over the last 20 years or so has

Good morning BiB's! Mrs Dive and I are going to the Virginia Aquarium today. We went there a couple years back and I noticed how effortlessly some of the fish and other creatures vacate their bowels. They seem so calm and relaxed, I was just thinking that our hotel has a indoor,heated pool and maybe I could try it for myself. I guess the employees of the hotel would not be happy about that. Maybe

Happy new year BiB's! Mrs Dive and I are at a oceanfront hotel in Virginia Beach. The rooms are so cheap this time of year that we got two rooms with a connecting door so I can use the bathroom in the extra room without subjecting Mrs Dive to the horrific odor and possible toilet clog. We are going to stay in tonight to watch the redskins game so we are trying to decide on delivery food. Mrs Div

Happy Holidays BiB's! I love Christmas time but along with all the good tidings and joy there often lurks a hidden danger. Irresistible baked goods can be found almost everywhere and those tasty treats can bring a complete lack of comfort and joy to your bowels if you are digestively challenged. Tomorrow morning for example the 30 or so employees in my department at work are going to a place cal

Hello bib's I really enjoy catching up on FYBDW. there is plenty of comradery between the brown trodden individuals here which is quite admirable. My bowels have been up to some of their old tricks but I have a huge advantage when it comes to my restroom access at my part-time job here at JMU. I applied for and was granted an access code which allows me to use the "3rd" bathrooms as we call them.

That Turkey and stuffing did me in. I'm staying home while Mrs Dive goes to visit our son on her own. If I feel better by tomorrow I'll head up there for the day. For now it's going to be me and my illegal Canadian groan throne spending quality time together. At least there is a free premium channel preview on direc tv through tomorrow.

That's just great 5am! I'm so happy for you! I took my fish for a long swim in the whirlpool tub early this morning and that seemed to help. My daughter is coming over today and wants to go out for Asian food so there is danger ahead. I am going to have to stick with steamed rice and vegetables. That is really hard to do when others all around me are enjoying General Tso, fried dumplings and eg

I am working at a polling place tomorrow as a volunteer. I sure hope I don't shit my pants during the election process. I had to attend a training seminar last week and they warned that sometimes the voters can get nasty if their voting registration is messed up for some reason. Most of the time it is the fault of the citizen if they are not properly registered but they dont understand and get al

Good day BiB's. My bowels took a turn for the worse after being unable to resist the leftover halloween candy. My ass feels like all three musketeers took their swords to it. I have the day off today and Mrs Dive either hid the rest of the candy or took it to work with her which is just as well as I don't need the temptation. I enquired about the IBS support group at JMU, it seems as though it is

Hey Brown onion! How you doing buddy? I was thinking about you this morning during my trip to Walmart to get candy for the trick or treat kids tomorrow. You are not going to pass out those bristol stool charts like you did last year are you? I think you ought to go with 3 musketeers bars instead, maybe just leave a stack of stool guides off to the side of your front porch. As I recall you said so

Hi all! Just wanted to share an experience I had yesterday at my part time job. The sewer line backed up at a building and turds, tampons and toilet paper were coming up through the floor drains. People were running from the building screaming in terror. It was quite disgusting but the brave men in white service vans arrived quickly with motorized drain snakes and wet vac's to clear the lines and
