I have three kids, 12 10 and 5 (36 if you count my husband) Somedays they drive me crazy! I haven't always been there for them during attack season but I've explained things to them and they know I have tummy issues.They responded by saying"Just use the bathroom mom". When I'm having a good tummy day we try to cram our shopping and beach trips into those days. It's hard not to work yourself up into a frenzy in about 3.2 seconds.Still working on it. I've had a good week and this morning I had to take my hubby to my brothers at 6am so he could take him to the airport.He is gone for 9 days and i'm all alone with my three kids.HELP! Anyway I woke up with a tummy ache and barely made it to my bros house 20 min away! Was fine after.I guess the pressure was too much! Anyway if any of you find a way to magically make it disappear,let me know! -------------------- IBS-D since 1999...mostly stable..i do cheat too.Bad me.

I had a counselor show me a couple of years ago. I use it when I'm having panic attacks and it really does seem to help. Sometimes I have to run through the cycle of taps several times, but it does help. -------------------- IBS-A and GERD since 1983 Low FODMAP since 2012 Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all)
