Please BFSBurger and G-Dog, let us not lose perspective that we are all here to help our fellow forum members. Everyone has their own unique perspective that they have arrived upon through the sum of their life experiences. We may have minor disagreements on what the best approach may be but rather than harp on the differences let us instead focus our energy and attention on our common goal to gain in our knowledge and understanding while sharing our experiences with others. This forum is here for us to collaborate.
Arguing only causes people to dig in their heels, put up their defenses, and close their minds. Nothing will be accomplished other than bruised egos and emotions. Instead lets agree to disagree. G-Dog has had some wonderful success in easing his symptoms by relaxing and overcoming his fear and worries. This is a wonderful message that many on this forum need to hear. G-Dog please post on your success story, how you achieved it, and try to help others reach that level of confidence and courage that you were able to achieve. If others want to pursue digestive health research and how it might be related please let them pursue their heart's desire without judging them. Their path is not your responsibility, just as your path is not theirs. They are following their instincts and intuition just as you did. It is always fine to engage someone in a healthy debate, but respect their beliefs as you would ask others to respect yours.
BFSBurger has also had success as I have in changing his diet. This success story should be shared as well. I personally post on this topic equally as much as I do on overcoming anxiety because they were both critical for my recovery. This forum is big enough for all of us and there is no reason to challenge eachother in who is right and who is wrong. So... Friends?
