I guess I think IBS-C is worse because...
1) It's all STUCK inside you... food moves and gurgles (loudly) and when it moves it causes more discomfort.
2) Bloating... wow, it's hard to find clothes you want to go out in public in
3) Gas... not to sound gross... but either you can't pass the gas (horrible) or your flactulance smell HORRID... you have to be really careful, it's like dropping a BOMB!
4) You gain weight easier... just trust me on this
5) Sometimes the mixture of food in your stomach makes it hurt so bad it's just undescribable. I feel like I'm in a constant state of discomfort. My friends might ask me how I am doing-- if I feel okay... I don't know what it feels like to feel okay... I don't know what normal feels like anymore I just say could be better or could be worse... ya know?
Of course, if I had IBS-D, I'd have my own set of reason why it's worse. I haven't experienced IBS-D, so I can't say for sure whether it's worse. I think we are all up a "something" crick without a paddle (other than this diet, Heather, and every other supportive person on this site:)). And I know this is horrible, but I sometimes wish I had IBS-D, or knew how to turn my IBS-C into IBS-D, just so I could get this food out of me Oh well, I guess if it was the other way around, I'd wish for the opposite.
It's just my opinion/view though...
