Just been told i have ibs!

[shanni_93]

Wanted to know from someone else that has ibs. Since having all my symtoms my life has changed my toilet habits have made my life impossible at the moment. Does life get better. I feel like i constantly need the toilet and because of this my anxiety kicks in which doesnt help. It stops me from doing things i want to do. Does it get easier?

Best advice I have is elimination diet. Start with gluten and dairy. That eliminates my symptoms permanently unless I slip up

Well, IBS is a tricky thing to have, one minute you need the loo alot, and then another time you may become constipated which causes all kinds of uncomfortable symptoms!  I have IBS, I have had it for many years, the way I get by is too eat a good clean diet, drink plenty of water, exercise, but don't stress out, because believe me, being stressed just makes everything a whole lot worse, but having IBS is not a big major thing, and it shouldnt really interfere with your life :) Don't worry, things will get easier once you get into a routine!  If you're are too worried about this, see your Dr and explain your feelings :) Good luck!

i haven't been any great "success story".    My intestines are in sorry shape.   I have taken klonopin for anxiety which helps.   No stomach med has helped.  all tests negative.   Try the right diet and avoid stress.  What else can you do?
