Ok I guess I better give a little bit of history to see if anyone can help me. I first got IBS when I was about 17 and it was pretty bad for about a year or so - then I left home and moved to vegas and it completely disappeared for about a year and a half to 2 years. Then it started coming back when I was about 20 and after my 21st birthday party it was in full force and still pretty much is. In the last couple months I was really starting to think it was finally starting to get under control. I lived in Vegas for about 5 years - the first 2-3 were great and I loved it there and then the last two years Ive been majorly homesick and just hated every minute of living there. So finally my husband found a job in my hometown where all my family lives and we are in the process of moving right now! Im actually already back home and my husband will be here this weekend for good. Anyways both me and my husband thought that moving back home would really help me with all my stomach problems and stress but since Ive been here (for 2 weeks now) Ive been doing worse! I have been eating the exact same things as I did before and I have not changed a single thing - and its definitely not stress because Im home! I am usually an IBS-C and I VERY RARELY get D. But since Ive been home Ive already had it twice in 2 weeks which has never happened before. The ONLY thing that is different at all is the water Im drinking. I only drank bottled water in vegas cause the water there is AWFUL but Ive been drinking water out of the tap here because its out of a water softner. Is there any possible way this could be my problem? Or does anyone else have any ideas? Im so bummed out that Im getting worse up here - I really thought I was going to feel way better!
