Well if the person really does have it also, I don't see anything wrong with saying "me too". Everyone is responsible for their own health. If someone is stupid enough to say "Well I got 5 "me too" responses to my post about nail fungus, so I guess I can just chalk it up as IBS related and call it a day!" then they are in denial and have a lot more problems then IBS! This is the internet! Yes we learn a lot of helpful tips and such from boards like this. But really it should never take the place of seeing a DOCTOR. Everyone should know that. And it's not the fault of the person who said "me too!" if others are that dumb. JMO[This message has been edited by Homebound (edited 09-28-2001).]

I don't know, I think Big Mike isn't being very tolorant of others views just by making this thread. IBS doesn't exactly have a known cause. Look at all the fights that go on here because everyone seems to think they know what causes it, and how to fix it. Some people think they know what good IBS therapy is, and that it works for everyone and so on. A lot of disorders combine themselves with other problems. If a lot of people with IBS do develop another disorder of the same, then doctors should look in to that. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't see a doctor and talk to them about our other problems. It is a support issue. When your suffering with something chronic, AND you have IBS you will wonder if they are related. And then you look for feedback. If a lot of people all have it too, plus IBS, it might be something to bring up with your doctor. Nothing wrong with that. I just get a little tired of people always telling others how to post. Which is why I don't come here very often. Too many know-it-alls. Live and let live. If someone feels better by asking if someone else has the same problem, let them. Get a hobby or something and don't worry about it. JMO[This message has been edited by Homebound (edited 09-29-2001).]
