thank you for your post jennifer. glad you found the site! amazing huh: that such an absurd condition can blight a person's life so much? (though i think it says as much about society's taboos around the very natural act of poohing, and the digestive system and it's disorders).
great that you could tell your new man about what you go thru. (show him the site if he's still in any doubt!).
keep posting as much as you want to: that's what the message board is for.
