Dannadivine I really wish you well. I am working hard on getting better too.

shawneric, Maybe I should do the parasite thing? I grew up having cats/kittens all lthe time. I thinking of taking the Kolanticon Gel http://www.mastersdirect.com/product/0077362?source=pl

shawneric,do you think that would be good for me to take? Oh and I really believe all my "balls" of gas and all the crazy uncomfortable poping and Me feling so bloating and feeling like my body is straining and I really feel I need to sit down,I know it's Incomplete evacuation and all my body trying to empty or get that piece out. For example many times I am trying to leave for work but feel a stool there and just out of reach where I can't pull it out,so then I lay down and release gas and such but still cant get it out until I've wen to bed and get up in the morning. I mean I push and strain but trying to relax and breath right at the same time and it just won't come out but its right there..

"but LOTs of things can contribute to flares, hormones, sleep, moods, all kinds of things. Even the weather.

One thing here Aperson, the symptoms cause anxiety, anxiety causes more symptoms. This is the IBS vicious cycle."

Not only that it is a vicious cyle of,I don't know what the specific word is?? lol but I will explain.

One example is I get told I'm too beutiful and too young to have these ibs problems and they hate to see me waste my life away. I can't disagree with any of that,but I don't go around acting hot or go around thinking it. It's like I don't really care how I look,but kinda do. I guess it's flattering getting told you are sexy,attractive,or bluntly nice blank,but don't really care about it. Like I just shower and get haircuts when I really need to. I can't remember the last time I put any makeup on and I like to highlight my eyes with eyeliner or some lipgloss,ect. I'm never in jeans I'm always around the house with ugly pajamas on. I can't remember the last time I shaved my legs or took care of my unibrow problem. I just feel so bad and run down I don't even worry about those things. I mean yea I would like to dress up and do my hair and makeup and at the same time care less though. Like I could care less about how I'm just in pajamas everytime my bf sees me. It's so comfortable for my ibs and It's become a chore to put on jeans or do my makeup. Heck I'm often late for work stuck on the toilet and rush out the door without brushing my teeth. Please don't think "poor little maria" I just don't like it. I am really going to try harder to get better. I've already started. Last 2 days tons of temptations right in front of my face and I didnt even take one bite.
