Will this syndrome ever stop feeling like my body is betraying me, punishing me or like a mutiny against me?

Hee hee, I've always described it as an adversarial relationship between myself and my digestive system!

Just offering a hug - I understand that feeling so well. I was just reading in my journal, excerpts where I felt like if I could just gain control over my body then I'd feel like myself again. Hang in there!!!!! We're with you!!! ((((hug)))))

whenever im in the middle of a bad epsiode, i convince myself that i will never eat anything again and that i will never snap out of it. soon enough though, i always get back to "normal" there are always times when i jsut hate my body and feel like giving up, but i always make it out alive. best of luck to you

Guys,

You all said exactly what I was thinking. I guess that's the best part about having each other to sound off to. I sometimes feel like a prisoner trapped in a body that hates me too. Then other day my very pregnant friend said to me "I'm so sick of this huge belly, I wish I could just take it off!" I remember thinking "well you will soon and you'll get a beautiful baby as a reward whereas I'm stuck with my hugely bloated belly for life and I'm not going to get a reward for putting up with it either!"

Pretty cynical hey!

Besides the fact that my husband and I are going through IVF and I would be delighted to be rubbing my belly and aching back right now if there was a baby in there instead of just an unhappy colon and gas!

Oh well!

Kerrie

Gosh and I thought I was the only one who felt like this! ((((hugs)))

I often compare my body to a Nazi officer who tortures me out of sadistic thrill. Sounds twisted but I used to get IBS so bad I wanted to die.

Sometimes I think that maybe, just maybe, I will be able to handle the "old" food. But I again learn quickly:
Nooooo, I have to stick with the diet.

Sometimes I get so depressed when I follow the diet to a "T" and still get "D" it really kicks the crap out of.
And then I think - well I should have had that steak I so badly wanted if I knew this was gonna happen LOL
