OK...I know this issue has been addressed before, but I'm so frustrated. Some days I can eat practically anything I want and be fine for a few days and other days everything triggers my IBS-D. I also alternate now betwee IBS-C and IBS-D...ever since my hysterectomy a year ago. I just read an article about how vitamin supplements can be triggers....well, I've been taking supplements because I need calcium, etc. since my hysterectomy. I've decided not to do hormone replacement because I feel better without it. I'm just getting frustrated again with this whole IBS thing....needed to vent.

Right there with you. I get so frustrated that I'm still in pain. Everything else is great... daily bms, no nausea, can eat....just in pain. Just want to scream WHY!!!!! at the top of my lungs.

Same here...sometimes I just want to scream! Why can't I just be normal! Why can't I have more good days than rough days. Why do I feel that on my rough days I have to act as if nothing is wrong so that I don't seem like I'm complaining all the time. I feel like I'm constantly saying "my stomach is upset again."

Oh I hear you!! My problem is I eat something today and tomorrow I can't eat the same thing without an attack! GRRR!!! I'm flip-flopping between good days and bad. Tonight, it's edging on being a bad night, of course, because I have plans! My dinner sits beside me, 1/4 eaten - rice noodles with sweet and sour chicken pieces (homemade, sauteed chicken, homemade sauce, all safe ingredients!) SOOO Frustrating!! I had it for dinner Sunday and I was fine!
Let's all meet on the top of a building somewhere and scream how sick of being sick we are!!!

Ok...or at the top of a mountain...since this experience, for me, is like climbing a mountain...how about if we all imagine ourselves tomorrow at 1:00 at the top of a beautiful mountain or building all together screaming at the top of our lungs how frustrated we are and sick of being sick and then joining in one of the biggest group hugs ever!!! Sound like a plan? Who's in?? Anybody?

I'm there, too....I've been wanting to go to the top of Pike's Peak ever since my hubby and I went to a Log Home show in Colorado Springs and visited Garden of the Gods a few years ago. We didn't take the time to drive up the peak....See you there today at 1:00!!! {{{HUGS}}}

I feel the same way but then I try to remind myself that I could have much worse disorders/diseases. But you are entitled to your feelings just don't get too self-absorved.

I also understand your frustration. Since the hypnotherapy I do tend to have more good days than bad but how it works for me, is I'll be fine for say.. A month. Eatting anything and everything and I'll be ok then all of a sudden I'll eat something that I have been eatting for the last month be in tons of pain and have to back off any sort of trigger and work it back into my diet carefully...
I have also been taking a vitimin supplement and sometimes I find it makes me feel not nessicarly like i'm having an attack but just not as well as I could be. And I have been drinking alot of V8 to try and at least get some vegetables into my diet and again, for something that is suppose to make me better, I don't react well sometimes..
For example, I didn't get a full attack but I was not feeling all that great last night and here is what I ate, Some roasted skinless chicken breast, white rice (with salt and just a touch of pepper) a couple pieces of bread (nothing on it) and a V8 shot.. So I understand...
