Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Be strong about IBS...a reflection

I don't know about the childbirth thing....my cramping feels like labor pains.The only good thing about childbirth pains is that after all the effort you can show the results to all your friends!!

You had a great post....and who cares what other people think.If they think it's all in your head let them. We know better and just because everyone else is having a drink or cheesecake(mmmmmmmmm)that doesn't mean you have to.And you don't need to explain why.Right?

IBS is a strange strange thing. Someday they will find he cure.I think it'll be when they stop putting preservatives and junk in all our food.When farmers stop spraying pesticides and herbacides.When our meat isn't injected with steroids and antibiotics. When our goverment realizes that they really need pollution control. All the wonderful things we have and "need" contribute to the problems we are all facing.Even this computer!!!(just try and take it away!)

Sorry didn't mean to spew but.....

It's tough to be able to say it's just my IBS acting up because not everyone believes it exists. I'm glad that you have come to terms with it and wish everyone here can do the same.

Good luck to everyone in this eternal struggle for a normal life (with cheesecake!!)
