No one may remember me, but I used to frequent this site almost everyday quite a while back. I stopped using it because my life, and therefore IBS, was very manageable. Well, not anymore!!!
Stress was always the #1 factor in my IBS. No-no foods was #2. I have been staying away from dairy, red and fatty meats, high IF foods, etc. Every now and then I was able to nibble on something bad, like a bit of cheese on my pasta, or some cream in my coffee. My IBS is running amok again and nothing I eat manages to stay in my system for very long.
The stressors: My BF of 4 years was recently contacted by his ex on their old anniversary, 4/25. Totally random and out of the blue. It would have been OK if she hadn't brought the anniversary up AND if she hadn't brought up their old marriage plans. On top of that, that same day, 4/25, he helped one of his female friends move. I don't mind him having lady friends, but this one I can't stand! She calls him "love" and "cutie." Stuff like that. I told her nicely that it makes me uncomfortable, but she was mean about it and said something to the effect of "Get over it!"
So now my BF has been emailing back and forth with this ex. He wants to reconcile his old issues with her. I want him to get her out of our lives. Part of me thinks I am being unreasonable, but the other part can't help it! This chick left him so she could sleep with other guys. I can't understand why he is being nice to her at all... GAH!
OK, rant over....
I had to stay home from work today because my stomach is really acting up. I hate staying home from work because of this. But at least this website exists! It is extremely helpful.

Hi there! I am fairly new, well since last year so you wouldn't remember me!
I'm sorry to hear that you don't feel well today. I don't feel too well either. It is bad enough to go home, but instead, I'm just acting like I'm working, but I'm not doing anything except hurting inside!!!!!
I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles with your BF. It sounds like you two need to have a heart-to-heart!! That would definitely bother me too, the ex that is! My fiance used to date this (excuse my language) sl*t, and about every six months she would text him, out of the blue, something like "hey, did you see so-in-so on the news" or "hey, I heard you were getting married" all that bs. He knew it upset me. But after she found out we were engaged, and he wouldn't text her back, she finally quit texting!! She is crazy
You should make him realize what she did to him. and Why it doesn't make a poop what she thinks about him or reconcile any differences. It's over, caput, in the past, finito!!! Guys can be so frustrating sometimes!
Stress is one of my main problems too. Especially when I get stressed and raid the cabinets    Not a good thing.
I hope you feel better soon. We are in the same boat just opposite symptoms!!

Yeah, guys... Sometimes they're just ARGH!!!
He said he would "end it" today. He doesn't like me having to stay home from work because of stress-induced bowel problems. His problem is he can't stand it when people don't like him. He goes out of his way to please people. Except, umm, you can't please everyone. And your ex should be the least of your worries. He didn't want to be mean and say "F#@K off!!" right after she contacted him. Even though that's what I would have said... Pssh, oh well. Tomorrow is another day!! 
I will ask him tonight for an update on the situation. It better be good!
