I do not get this!!!,I do not understand why my system is the way it is?!!!,I just always pray that I have a good stomach day.My mind stays constantly on my bowel habits worrying about why my stomach acts up a certain times out of nowhere?!!! Worrying about certain foods I eat how much of a certain food I should eat or cut back on worrying about what if this foods messes my stomach up? My therapist tells me I need to let go of these thoughts that crowd my mind and just stress me out and ruin my day.I need to remember my bowel movements if it be good or bad leave it in the bathroom let those thoughts go down the toilet along with the rest of the mess.I try to not carry the negative thoughts with through out the day.But when I got through this at home I worry about what if I was out in public over someones house? I'm afraid of having bad IBS symptoms out there out in public that's my biggest fear!!!!

I feel so alone I feel my life is boring I do not work because of having IBS I do have a source of income thank for God SSDI!!!!! I do not have any kind of social life I'm only in my early thirties I want to live my life how I want to with no limits!! I want to get to live out all my dreams!!! I do not want to be held back by fear and anxiety and embarrassment of having IBS.I do not know how to live with it while being happy or trying to be happy.My faith is my everything and I look to God all the time for him to one day heal me in fact Jesus to heal me perform a miracle over my body and rid me to this stupid disorder!!! I try to keep joy within me everyday and to not allow this stupid disorder to ruin my day or bring me down on the inside ripping at my core and soul.I pray to be able to meet others my age living with this just like me but I have not met that person or persons.I feel if and when I do it will not be such a lonely world for me wont feel lonely on the inside anymore.I need a miracle within my mind body and soul.I pray that I get a breakthrough and things start to improve for me in the New Year where I'll get to go back to school work start having a great social life meeting new friends and start traveling to exotic places with friends.I want to come and go as I please without checking myself to make sure everything ok for me to head out for the day with no worries as long as I have my few normal bowel movements so I can get back home without using a public restroom.

Please ya'll I need your prayers for strength to keep pushing forward no matter what.Your prayers to just face the day wake up with joy in my heart and a smile on my face to last the whole day till the next day and so on.Love you all wish you all the best in good stomach and digestive health take care all!!!,and God bless!!! xoxoxoxo :0)

I was diagnosed with IBS about 7 years ago for severe bloating and gas. I was scoped and everything looked fine. No real explanation other than calling it IBS. I dealt with it for years.. Some meds at times to help, but it didnt do much. about a year ago, i was diagnosed with severely high triglycerides and had to regulate my diet accordingly.
Basically, i had to limit my carbs to only about 20% of what i ate.. NO SUGARS.. NO FRUITS, Very little starches.
I ate meat and cold vegetables.. I even ate cheese. To my surprise, my IBS symptoms went away. No more bloating, Gas reduced 90%, I understand now that all the sugar in my gut in combination to high bacteria levels (because of it ) contributed to the IBS symptoms. If you feel that your willing to try a new diet to help your symptoms.. PLEASE TRY IT! The secondary benefit is i lost 30 lbs in 4 months and kept it off. WOO HOO!! Another thing you may want to try is seeing an allergist !!!

Nice reply John, I would like to add, it would be benificial to spend your time constructively if your are going to worry about this issue. In that I mean, go ahead and worry about what you eat and write it down in a food journal. The time you spend in your home, make mental notes of when you IBS is most prevalent, and find out what you did just before the occurrence. Get obsessive it you must, but try and find what is going on, the more specific the better. I wrote a thread a few days ago(Come back when Worse?) about my issue and that's what I've been doing of lately and I'm really beginning to peel away what's happening to me, and that is making this experience pass easier.

Hang in there jt80, with some knowledge and some faith I'm sure you'll pull through :)
God Bless

In addition to changing your diet Solaray Capryl capsules worked for me. Capryl treats Candida which is an overgrowth of yeast and can be purchased at your local health food store. I take up to six a day and I feel so good now. It has changed my life!!!

Hi jt80,

I'll agree with everyone else's suggestions. I had the same problems for years. It took me a long time to figure out that mine was triggered by certain foods - corn, soy, gluten, yeast, sugar. Not all of my food triggers cause problems right away. Sometimes I'll have the problem a day after I eat it. I also have to take a ton of probiotics. I do at least 50 billion a day. I'm sorry that you're going through this. Keep praying. God healed me of a major illness after a decade of praying, but He healed me and that's what counts!

Is it possible you have Fructose Malabsorption, and/or SIBO? which is Small Intestional Bacterial Overgrowth. Hydrogen breath testing in your GI's office can determine this for you. Reseach both and see if the symptoms are familiar. Best wishes for a healthier 2012.
