Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Date day with husband ruined by IBS

My husband and I have been looking forward to my daughter starting pre school for awhile now. She goes on tuesday's and wednesday's. My husband has monday and tuesday's off.
We had been looking forward to going to luch just the two of us on tuesdays.

Well needless to say that is out the window. I felt realy depresssed today when we dropped off DD and came home and made sandwiches. I swear to God I am ready to say screw it and eat what ever I want and just deal with the effects.
It is like this messing up all the things we have been looking forward to.

I am affarid to volunteer at my DD school because I never know how much pain I am going to be in. I can't go on date nights anymore because they were always movie and dinner. If I could just get rid of the pain I would fine.

It doesn't help that my monthy friend is here. I feel like someone is trying to rip out my lower stomach. God I just want normal back. It is so hard to face the fact that my life is never going to be what I thought it was. My DH keeps saying this is going to get better everything will be fine. He thinks it is going to go away that this just something wierd I am going through and eventullay it will all get back to normal.

I don't think he gets it. Plus the few people I have told say things like oh my sister(or whoever they know) has that it will only bother you once in awhile the rest of the time you'll be fine.

I don't know what to think anymore. It amazing to me how much our tummy's and food can mess up our lives. Well I went on longer than I had planned. I just needed to get it out. You guys are the only ones who realy get it and know how it feels so BIG THANK YOU'S. I just gotta get over feeling like my lfe is over and then feeling silly for feeling that way.
Thanks for Listening
