Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | AUGH! I'm so miserable and tired of this...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the boards, although not new to this site or IBS. I just needed to vent, cause this is turning out to be the worst week ever and I really need to talk to some people who can actually understand.

I thought I had my diarrhea-type IBS nearly under control, I really did. Lots of acacia fiber, peppermint, yoga, exercise, diet, tons of water, sleep, therapy, I really really try to take care of myself. I'm female, almost 24.

But I've gotten ill after *everything* I've eaten for a week now. Not to mention as soon as I wake up and put anything in my mouth. It's only made worse by the fact that I work in a tiny, tiny, office with the bathroom right in the middle where everyone can hear what's going on! I never used to get sick at work, now it's happening every few hours! It's like my worst nightmare and I don't know what to do. I'm just so miserable and want to hide, and I know that the stress and embarrassment of it all is just making things worse.

Have any of you had horrible awful relapses like this? Is there anything I can do? Please, please, help me!
