See Newest IBS Information at least once a week.

About Me

Well, everyone else has an About Me page, so here is mine.  I’ve been writing this site since 2007, and hope that people find my experiences and information helpful.  Many peoples suffer for years, needlessly, before finding out they have IBS.

Part of that is because no one wants to talk about “toilet habits” or admit they have any bowel problems.

I don’t necessarily want to talk or write about it all that much either.  But someone has to “keep it real.”

Some of the medical sites have some good information, but are hard to understand, and/or are not very specific.  They also don’t speak much from personal experience.

Many of the other sites are just infomercials.  No real experiences.  No straight talk.  Most of these sites offer no value.  People NEED good information about IBS.

So here’s the straight talk.  I do my best to make it readable.  Much of what I have to read in order to create this site is pretty difficult, or boring, or both.

In the end, I’m hoping to help people find out about this condition or related conditions so that they can suffer less.

I’d like to make a difference.

Still more about me???

So some people want to know more.  Okay.  I’m in my late 40′s, have a wonderful wife, a  young daughter and a teenage son.  After that comes the menagerie.  An english bulldog and a pug; a gigantic cat (possibly another one coming); and my wife’s corn snake.

We live in New Hampshire in the country, surrounded by trees.

For work that pays, I work as an information technology manager of a financial institution.

And I typically wear cowboy hats (partly for style, partly to avoid sunburn ‘cuz I’m bald on top  :).

There!  Is that enough info?

If not, ask any questions in the comments section, and I’ll get back to you.

Regards,

Shawn

    Just found this page tonight. I have had problems with my ” nervous stomach” as my family called it for all of my life. But recently , I have been diagnosed with diverticulosis and IBS ( mostly the big yucky D) . I am trying so hard to get my gut straightened out. And I just wanted to say that your web site has the best info I have found. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY. hope it is ok if I say God Bless you for taking some of the shame out of having this condition. I am 45 , been married to my wonderful husband for almost 29 years and I am ready to live my life without worrying if I am gonna make it to the bathroom on time. If you know what I mean. Thanks again for all of the good information.

  • It is certainly okay for you to say God Bless. And I appreciate all you have to say here.

    Honestly it’s people like you that keep me going. Thank you for thinking this information is worth something.

    May God bless you, and may you find things that help your condition.
    All the best!
    Shawn
