I completely understand your frustrations as I have lived with this my entire life. Altering your diet is a great step to ridding yourself of some of the terrible symptoms of cramping/diarrhea, etc. But, yes, the stress is a giant problem:) There are many ways to deal with that, but, you must find what works for you as a person. I cannot take prescription meds without so many side effects so for me I have to find other options. I strongly believe in deep breathing, meditation, etc...the hypnosis cds mentioned here on this site, listening to music, some type of exercise, even if it is just walking....nothing will eliminate all the stress in our lives but, you can try to take it moment to moment and see if anything helps you. This board is a wonderful place to ask questions and talk. I hear the desperation in your voice...please know that you are not alone...so many of us deal with these things...some days are great, some not so great. I think for me just realizing and accepting that helped. I spent alot of time just wanting it all to permanently go away and realized my time would be better spent accepting and continuing to move forward however you can.
