Hi all
I'm a (very) infrequent poster but I hope some of you can maybe help.
Essentially the IBS symptoms I have are mainly nausea and constipation. I went through a long process years ago where my doctor suspected I had chrons/UC as I was passing blood, but that symptom and my inflammation markers disappeared completely once I stopped eating wheat/gluten. I had other tests (scopes etc) and all is well clinically - I've never been troubled by those symptoms since
The reason I am posting is that I feel very overwhelmed by my symptoms at times, mainly the nausea which seems to be related to my bowels moving. It's very extreme and often I can't bear to move hardly because it feels so bad. It's like having a virus or being deathly motion sick. I feel as if everything I plan to do in life is in some way impacted by it. It's at the point where I get very little enjoyment out of life because I feel so ill so often.
There is nothing left to be done treatment wise, I've tried everything! So I'm not really looking for any advice in terms of that, although of course I appreciate the help regardless. I'm more looking for some reassurance from folks who have had this 'woe is me!' feeling themselves
Thanks
