Hi guys,
First I would like to thank everyone for all your suggestions, advice and support so far. These message boards have become my lifeline lately.
I was wondering what do you all do to pick yourselves up and stay positive?
Does anyone get down because they are doing all the right things (safe foods only, exercise, yoga, relaxation etc) and still the IBS is flaring?
Sometimes I wonder where to get the energy to keep trying and hoping that things will improve. No matter what I do lately, I just can't stabilise.
Any ideas? What do you guys do for a pick-me-up?

Hang in there!! I just wanted you to know that I have been thinking the same thing about the past few days I have been having. It does get you down a bit when you know that you are doing good, but still can't seem to get things to stay under control!
My first week (2 weeks since I have changed to IBS diet)went great and so did the beginning of 2nd week, but the past 4 days have been hard! I think even the tiniest bit of stress has caused everything to stop and bring back the unsettled stomach. 
I also agree that this message board has become an every day thing that I check at least a few times a day. If nothing else, to see how everyone else is doing.
I think it does help a lot knowing that I am not the only one struggling day to day with this and neither are you! We are all here for you to listen and help the best we can!

Try Heather's Peppermint Fudge Cake. That's my consolation. It is very frustrating sometimes. I sometimes even feel like it's just not fair. Why do I have to spend my whole life without foods I love? Think of the positives - the diet is great for weight management, and healthy living. Plus, we can eat lots of "starch" ie. white bread, rice, potatoes, etc. without ever feeling guilty. That's a consolation for me. Take care.
