I just recently was officially diagnosed with my IBS. At first I had no clue as to what to eat and all. I would come on here everyday a few times to try to get information. This site is very helpful especially when you feel no one else understands what is going on. It's difficult to explain to others what is going on. But then I decided that I needed to not focus all my energy onto the IBS because sometimes it feels overwhelming. So one thing I like to do as a hobby is cook. Well that can be difficult when you have IBS so lately I have been experimenting with my recipes and trying to rethink how I prepare them. I don't want to be denied the foods I love, so I am finding new ways to prepare them with the foods I can eat. Today I had a pumpkin pie milkshake (soy)! ) So its sorta like turning a negative into a positive and keeps me from spending all my time on here thinking about IBS directly. I also went shopping with my aunt today. Yesterday was a bad IBS day and today I had no issues at all. You do have to make sure you have a balance in your day or you will be thinking about IBS all the time. Now that people know I have IBS, I try not to talk about it so much because I am sure they get tired of hearing about it. Thats why you have us and you can always talk to us about it and we will not ignore you and we can understand exactly what you are going through. Don't feel bad.
