I breastfed both my children for a year, and during that time I had no IBS symptoms ar all - pain or anything else. I ate all sorts of junk - custard doughnuts featured almost daily - and had no problems. I thought I was cured, too. But, after I stopped breasfeeding, the IBS came back, and I also had depression which wasn't diagnosed, but I believe was delayed post-natal depression. Like line415, I had alot of anxiety, especially about social situations, and I had lost a lot of self-confidence. I am not telling you this to worry you - we are all different, and my hormones have always given me trouble (still do, 15 years on!). But I don't think IBS ever really goes away - it can be managed, but it is still there. On the plus side - you know how to manage it, thanks to Heather and this website. I really wish I had known all this stuff about IBS years ago - and had the support of this board. I think things would have been a lot brighter for me.
