Thank you so much for your post. I am so thankful to find another singer with similar problems to mine! The bloating makes it hard to breathe and support my voice, but my throat doesn't seem affected by fibro (just hormones - my hormones are in a cycle, but the rest of my body is not due to my severe weight loss). The bloating and pain is what causes the most problems for me in terms of singing, but I find that singing is therapeutic for me and helps my pain lessen sometimes. Does that happen to you as well, or is singing impossible when you're feeling ill?
I'm not feeling very well lately, and I had to use phosphosoda last night to get cleaned out again due to being backed up and in so much pain. It's so frustrating! I'm sorry to hear you have had a tough time of it, too, but what regiments are you on to try to regulate your IBS-C?
Your message brightened my day! I hope you're feeling better today...
