Yep, been there, done that, got the T-shirt!
The Doctors say it's IBS, nothing to worry about, nothing we can do, go away and chill out, learn to live with it.
So the patient is left with a life-long condition, over which they seem to have no control and often little support from the medical profession. Who wouldn't feel depressed.
IBS, usually in combination with other problems in life, has left me seriously depressed on many occasions. Sometimes the downer would last for a few days, sometimes weeks or months.
Then I bought Heather's book and realised that it is possible to control the IBS rather than having it control me.
You've found this forum, so you're in the right place and heading in the right direction. Just hang in there. It can get better; it will get better!
Best Wishes.
