I am so discouraged. It feels like I'll never get my stomach under control. Every time I think I have it figured out, something else upsets it. I feel like I'm going to be eating nothing but bread and water the rest of my life.
It's so hard to focus on something else when I'm in pain. Rationally, I know that this too shall pass (so to speak!). But emotionally I'm down and blue and convinced it will always be this way and never get better. I feel like I'm starting at square one again on the IBS diet.
But realistically, I'm going to go meditate, then eat my plain spaghetti and drink my peppermint tea and go to bed. Tomorrow is another day, and hopefully a better one.
Help. If my stomach still hurts tomorrow, I don't know what I'm going to do...
Sorry to be feeling so sorry for myself, but I know you'll all understand.
Good night. See you all tomorrow.

I know how you feel. I'm so sorry you're so frustrated.
If it makes you feel better, American Idol starts up tonight... I mean, it could be worse. You could sound like those people and get dressed like Paula Abdul!
Anyway, my basic strategy is to distract myself and remember that I have to feel better eventually.

Hey, Girlfriend, hold on. Why do you have to have "plain spaghetti"? Ew. "Bread and water for the rest of [your] life"? Who gave you that sentence?! Have you been trying any of the recipes in here? There's quite a variety, and all of them I tried (except for one) are really good.
Are you getting your exercise? Drinking all your water? Taking your fiber? Doing everything right?
I have my setbacks too. You know I'm just getting over a 3-day attack, which discouraged me at first as well. But the good days that we have really DO make the bad days not quite so bad because the good ones are SOOOO good.
Am I making any sense?
Have you given any thought to the hypnosis? I know I keep recommending it, probably boring everyone to tears, but it worked so well for me that I just assume it will for others as well -- and I can see in your post just how disheartened I was -- like you -- before I started the program.
You can't get discouraged; we won't let you. There are too many of us here that you have to answer to.

I was like you about one year ago until I found Heather's diet. Thanks to it, my symptoms are under control 95% of the time ( PMS gives me a little problem, but I can manage). You have to be discipline with it to get out of your situation. My first advice to you is to avoid wheat and try rice and its products first. I noticed a huge change and I am not allergic to the grain. Rice is the safest grain around. I was on bread and water and with pain until I try the rice.

LauraSue:
I'm sorry you're feeling so rotten; I know that I (as well as everyone else on this board) can relate to how you're feeling. I'm personally feeling just like you right now.
I don't know what to say to make you feel better, as again I'm right where you are. Here's a BIIIIIIIIIIIIG hug and prayers that you will feel better soon.

I forgot! You could be having problems with stomach acid if you are only eating bread and water. My doctor gave me Tagamet because I was eating too little. Talk to your doctor. The medicine helped me a lot without causing more problems.

Woohoo!!! I can't wait! lol I'm trying out next year when I actually meet the age requirement! I want ot see the horrible performers as well as the awesome ones lol.
Anyways, I'm sorry you feel so down. I know exactly how you feel (well, we all do, but ya know) and believe me, it gets better. Everyone is so supportive and fun to be around that it really brightens up your day and makes you feel better to know that others are going through this as well. If I ever get really upset, I blast remy music and chill for a while. It helps me, but maybe trying osme relaxation techniques will help. I know plenty, so if you'd like to know any, just email me!
