IBS is rough but lets get through it
Regina George?

There’s this girl in my grade that everyone loves. Well, more like this bitch that everyone’s scared of but if you came to my school you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Its kind of like Regina George when she gets hit by that bus…. ugh…. Anyways this girl got her pancreas removed which I know is a really horrible thing to happen and I felt bad but she comes in to class and complains and complains and complains. So she was in the hospital for 2 days, right? Which is also bad but she talks about it all the time and everyone of course is always saying “Oh my god I’m so sorry!” or “Oh that’s awful you’re so strong.” and all these nice things to this bitch. But the worst part is I go into the hospital at least once a month and I have stayed there numerous times. And I’m so embarrassed by my IBS that Ive only told my 2 best friends. This girl gets all this sympathy while Im at the hospital longer than her. Im really sorry to complain but it makes me so frustrated and it makes me feel like no one cares.

Thanks for making this blog it really, really helps:)

what holiday does everyone celebrate?
*Sigh* I've been invited to stay over at my friend's house next week. Have been avoiding doing this for over a year but I am now backed into a corner :( Am tempted to take a whole packet of imodium the night before I go round there, but I know that'll screw me over. Anyone have any ideas on ways to make it a little more stress free? My friends know I have ibs but that doesn't stop me feeling embarassed.

dont owrry about it. please dont let IBS be the reason you dont go your friends house. id hate to see that happen. if they know..then who cares..just live your life :) have fun!

Thanksgiving

Our favorite holiday…..

too much sugar and dairy today and my ibs is letting me know! it's like someone is stabbing my side! in times like this it'd be nice to be able to talk to someone! it's not even gross-just painful!

ugh yes dairy is the worrrrst for me

i hope all my wonderful followers have a fantastic thanksgiving

i hope you all get to spend the day with people you love and are thankful for :)

oh! and remember that for IBS people…thanksgiving SHOULD NO BE A DAY THAT YOU EAT ALL THE FOOD YOU WANT (like everyone else does today)

remember the consequences before you indulge! is it worth the pain later?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! i appreciate you all <3

I have IBS C :(

I never thought I would say this, but my ibs is starting to get between my boyfriend and I.  I know that we love each other dearly, but I feel like he is getting tired of my complaining and changing moods.  I moved away from my close friends (at school, long story) and am living with my psychotic, controlling, and abusive parents and he has been an angel listening to all of my problems until recently.  He can’t seem to understand that stress can make IBS worse and that every day is literally a struggle for me to be able to use the restroom and watch what I eat so I don’t get sick.  I have to live with people that I resent and have to deal with multiple health problems on top of IBS… It is taking a toll on my grades, and my emotional health but he sees it as me not trying hard enough to overcome my problems.  I guess this is just a rant about what’s going on in my life right now.  I’m just letting you all know that I can be here to give advice or just talk to if you need it because I understand what you guys go through everyday. :)

my ibs story :)

i am a 17 year old girl, a junior and highschool, and am suffering from ibs.

my symptoms began showing up when i was about 2 or 3 years old. my earliest memories are of me on the toilet, praying to god that i would be a better person, be nicer to my family, eat less, if he could stop the pain in my stomach. i couldn’t go out anywhere, i couldn’t go to my friends house,  i couldn’t go to birthday parties or restaurants with my family. i was tied to my bathroom. some days my stomach would get so big that i would look 4 months pregnant, it was craziness. and the worst part was we didn’t know what to call it, what it was, or even how to prevent it.   

it wasnt until last year, when i was 16 that  found out it was ibs. since then i’ve cleaned up my diet alot with almost no processed foods, dairy, or fat, and while my condition has improved there are still days where nothing is going to work. i still get horrible gas, that makes me feel immobile, afraid of passing gas infront of my friends. 

i hope someday there will be something i can do to completely get rid of this stomach problem :( 

the only good thing about ibs has been losing so much weight. but i hate that my family thinks im not eating to lose weight.... they think that im using it as an excuse or lying to them. ive tried i try telling them i eat what i can, it might not be much but my symptoms are much worse when i dont eat so i have to! they just don't seem to get it. i also hate how some people are like "howd you lose weight so easily? what's your secret?" ummmmm having ibs is my secret. ugh

mhmm i see how you feel.. dont listen to other people, tell them its your body and ask them how they would feel if thry couldnt eat all this good food! make sure you dont lose too much weight though bc thats unhealthy-make sure you are eatig small portions but many times throughout the day

I tried Miralax and it did nothing. Not strong enough. I take 4 doses of Metamucil everyday and it helps more, but it gives me gas... But at least I can go to the bathroom almost everyday. I still have pain, of course, but less pain than when I couldn't go to the bathroom for days!!!

ohh wow imsurprised it wasnt strong enough, interesting! but good im glad theres improvement!

Does anyone take Miralax for IBS-C? I've been taking it for the past week and a half and have noticed a BIG difference. no attacks, minor bloating and minimal pain. I've even been able to eat cream cheese!!!!

i took Miralax for a while-it hurt my stomach way too much, though. it burned my stomach terribly. i would have sudden attacks especially in the morning. ugh it would ruin my day.  i now take one ex lax daily
