Hi! I am new to this forum. I found the link when I was searching for Martha Kalichman's book - found it on Amazon. I am a nurse educator. I do not have IBS, but have several friends who do. I am searching for resources for them and to become more informed my self.
 
Hi and :welcome:

What a fab thing you are doing for your friends!

You are more than welcome here but I have to point out that this is an IBD forum not an IBS forum. They can co exist but they are two very different things. Discussion on this forum centres around Crohns Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

I wanted to say, "Hello," and to welcome you to the forum. I am very impressed over the fact that there are caring health care individuals who are willing to go the extra mile to research illnesses/diseases that are uncommon, or less known. Please feel free to join in the discussions.
 
Hello and welcome to the forum! There are a few people on the forum who also have IBS and I hope they and we can all be of help to you. :D
 
Hi Nurse and welcome!

We are a great support group for new or experienced IBDers! Send 'em our way!

Thank you, everyone, for the warm welcome! I actually have friends with IBS and IBD. I ordered the book for a friend's daughter who has ulcerative colitis. She has been hospitalized several times recently and may be facing surgery.

I noticed that Imuran seems to be a common drug in use with the group. I have some experience with that one myself, along with prednisone. I did not know that Imuran was used in IBD. See, you have taught me something already.
