Hey my name is Matt and im from New Jersey. I'm 18 and i will be entering The College of New Jersey (tcnj, trenton state) in a few days as a freshmen.about 6 - 7 months ago good ol' IBS enter my life. I ate at white castle as usual (my freinds and I woudl eat there a lot because it one of the place open late thats close and cheap) and then we drove 3 towns over to a starbucks and on the way there i felt funny. I thought nothing of it becuase i always had gas and i just ate WC. Well soon as we got to starbucks i sprinted to the bathroom (thank god it was there) and for 1/2 hour in there it was not a fun time. The doctors at first figured out i got horrible food poisoning and it happened so fast that it cleared my interstines out of all the celia and that good stuff. Now i have IBS and they think i might have eventually got it .. but this brought it on sooner. It's not like they have any real idea since theres so many question in genereal when it comes to IBS.So then end of my senior year was pretty awful running back and forth to the bathroom and leaving school. The school did not mind that i left so much becuase they knew i was not faking it becuase i had perfect attendance for the rest of my schooling (i never got sick, how ironic).SO those first 4 months into school got out I let the IBS run my life. I have learned to deal with it better since then .. knowing what to eat and what not to. Just my attitude towards it in general ... the more positive and worry free i am the less sick i feel. I went out almost everyday/night this summer and only went home early once or twice so i guess im pretty happy.I take Hyscomaine (spelling?) and i think it has really helped me contract my bowel movements and colon. I am now (after taking the medicine) a IBS-C and just rarely a D (depends what i eat).anyway aside from the IBS I'm a big music geek ... as well as a guitar geek i guess. Some of the bands i'm into are the dillinger escape plan, jimmy eat world, hella, the red chord, king crimson, surinder sandhu, a life once lost, eyes upon separation, steve vai, jason becker, andy timmons, john mcclaughlin, startovarios, tribal tech, ...I'm tired of name bands just stuff liek hardcore, post-emo, power metal, math-rock, jazzcore. OH YEAH can't forgetr the classic pop metal liek guns n roses, bon jovi, and van halen.As for a guitar i play a '87 Charvel Model 6 (jackson soloist) as my main axe, i also have a gibson les paul and a ibanez s 470.well this is getting long so i will stop it here, its really nice to meet you all
