I think you are right.
At home with my parents untill I was 20 we always ate very healthy, no candy, soda, lotsa fruit, veggies, home cooked meals. Salads with every dinner. Our only beverage-water usually. Once I left home I went crazy and pigged out on Lattes sometimes 3 times a day, soda, fast food, pizza, Sweets and other easy to make junk!! I lived comfortably eating that way nearly 3yrs. I got food poisoning a lot actually. I remember throwing up a bunch. But no IBS like problems untill that one time at my job. I'd been very gassy and quesy all day and asked to go home. My stomach hurt so bad. By the time I made it home it was major diarhea for days! I've never really been the same since although it was never this obvious untill after my last pregnancy and then once I got the csection it became a daily nightmare. I'd say the Csection was the climax of it all. But not the begining of it.
So thats probably right. Eating so recklessly for so long probably traumtized my system. Forcing your body to digest Taco Bell, Pizza and Lattes everyday is not good for anyone. So yes I'm hoping to try the diet ideas here. I've noticed major improvement just in eliminating sweets!
I just love this board tho!! I felt SO alone with this! It is so hard to exsplain it to people and I hate that my inlaws think I have a social anexiety disorder and my friends are thinking I'm avoiding them on purpose! Ugh! They have no idea!!
But you can live normally with it?? When does the fear go away, such as that nagging fear you'll have to "go" when you are out and what if there are no bathrooms!! That fear has held me back so much.And ofcource the fear then stirs up the IBS and round and round we go!
