IBS is extremely isolating, and probably no one outside of these boards is ever going to understand what you're going through. When the pain comes, we suffer alone.
You don't deserve to be in pain. Why the hell us, you know??
But I'm grateful you're reaching out to all of us, because I can sense in your pain that you get what I'm going through, and that gives ME hope.
So our doctors strip us of our dignity, our friends don't know how to treat us when we're in their presence, and our loved ones sabotage our diets to "prove us wrong." We've got a little hope left, because we're HERE. So let's draw strength from that. OK, so we've got empathy. We've also got our biting wit, honed from the years of suffering. Sometimes if I don't laugh, I cry! 
{{{{{BIG HUGS}}}}} to you, and remember to breathe. The holidays are almost over, and we're identifying more evil foods and triggers every day. Things will get better. And if they don't, hey, we've still got us, you know?
Your friend,
~nelly~
