Sorry you are feeling so down. IBS can really be a pain in the butt sometimes...literally!! For me, to remain upbeat and positive I try to keep telling myself that it could be worse...one of my children could have a terminal illness, I could get cancer and leave my children motherless, my husband could be killed, etc.... I know dealing with the depprivation issue is hard. You always feel like you're left out, with nothing good to eat. I love to cook, so I always am making safe, yummy things that I can grab quickly when I get a craving. One thing that really helps is to get the "bad" stuff out of the house! If your home is filled with safe food items, it will be easier to make better choices. I keep pretzels in the car just in case I am out and about and get starving. I bake a lot, and I freeze portion-sized pieces so I can grab one in a hurry. Low-fat poptarts (brown sugar & cinnamon) are really a life saver. Sweet cereals too!
I try not to think about it too much, about what I am missing out on. I know it does get depressing. I hope you are feeling better soon!
