I am sitting here with a belly the size of Chicago - It would be the size of New York except I took 2 Gas X. I too can't figure it out. What to eat, not eat, what to take, what to avoid. When I have a flare up nothing seems to work. And, I think obsessing over it just makes it worse. But it is so hard to break the cycle. I do have periods where the tummy does okay. Even long periods. Then I have the flares. This summer has been particularly difficult. I was even hospitalized because the doc thought I had a bowel obstruction.

I think it's great that you function so well despite having a painful, difficult to control condition that is also often socially embarrassing. Keep endorsing yourself for all you do. Sorry I have no advice to give, just a lot of understanding.
