Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: so frustrated :'( any suggestions?

well c..the consistency is normal to soft sometimes a little watery,sometimes too soft,featherlike. Thats when I get alot of spasms or eat too much IF..I get good sized ones,medium sized pepples..sometimes almost pencil thin

. I know What I've went so far today what was left over from before work yesterdasy came out in the morning..also, I ate at 3 or 4 pm yesterday- canned mushrooms sauteed,jennio hamburger with some sauteed onions..I saw a couple whole mushrooms come out.

I get both urgency to go and Incomplet evacuation/feeling like I'm not empty,sometimes some cramping,I often pass gss before I need to go to the bathroom.

I've always beeen most comfortable coming to the message boards and taking care of this all day at my house until work..I don't need a doctor or counselor.Doctors didn't help and I know way more than they did from this website,products, and books. Anyway I don't have money to se a doctor. I don't drive and it would be too much trouble trying to schedule counseling appointments with my work schedule,ibs, and boyfriend visits. Also, my mom's boyfriend is like a really nice dad or grandpa to me when I need to talk to him. He knows about it.

My parents and sister- they're just annoyed of it and tell me stupid stuff. I just do my own thing and ignore them..Plus they have enough drama,problems and fighting that goes on with each other and other ppl..I just ask them for rides to wal-mart and work. I'm just happy to live in this house with my own room,well kind off..I would love to get the heck away from the ppl I live withl...Ibs really holds me back from work.But at least I don't have to pay for gas,car insurance,electricity,ect. I'd never make it on my own.

I already own natural calm. I often forget about it since I'm so busy with fennel tea,peppermint capsules,papaya enzyme,regimint all day before work to remember..I am also hesitant to take it because of the consistency of my stools and don't want anything to go wrong,even the lowest dose may unbalance stuff..

Mdonalds,yes I tend to get careless.I have a weakness for eating, I emotional eat. Also I feel since I am able to go to the bathroom all day and as much as I go and I jude by the consistency of my stools from before work and such how much I can have..I do things like Eat more cheese with the bread and meat to harden it up some. It works. I eat alot of cheese to well,not constipate me, cuz it never does..to counteract the buns of the sandwitches and such..and when I know I ate a little too much If, I drink mellow yellow and my poo with become firmer or just make it and it floats.. I know this is wrong..I've tried to stop so many times..I guess I believe even if I quit eating here I won't always have time to cook or I'll still get hungry because I work hard..and need to eat. I think I'll still have ibs and problems anyway because It seems even when I eat right, I am not able to take much If..I consume both tons of Sf besides a sandwich or 2 I will eat at work..and think it will balance out..I' ve decided today to do the best I can to control it and see where it gets me..

As for your diet, I assume you aren't eating that McDonalds you are serving up Are you following a safe diet or just taking Heather's supplements
