I don't know what to tell you guys.
I'm 26 and have had IBS 9 years.
I'm isolated, and depressed, and feel IBS has ruined my life.
It's ruined my hobby, bodybuilding, because how can you do good in the gym when you have so many dietary restrictions?
How can you look good with a bloated stomach?
It's ruined my ability to chill out, relax, and have fun.
No longer can I just spur of the moment, go out.
I have to pack all kinds of "special" stuff.
I can't just hang out, relax, and have a cold beer with my friends, nope.
They say with IBS you need to relax, but how are you suppsoed to chill and relax when you have to worry about taking all your meds, if you're eating the right foods, and having to avoid drinking?
The day I got IBS, in many ways, I feel, is the day my freedom and free spirit ended.
Heather says "with IBS you do not have to live isolated as a hermit" yet that is EXACTLY my experience.
I'd like to know why SHE was able to live a normal life and I can't.
