C'mon Bev, don't give up!! It's rough and I still get mad that I have this stupid IBS, but when it comes down to it it's just how you look at things. Have you done the IBS Audio Program? That's helped me a lot. Supposedly things happen for a reason, right? Well I figure my reason is I'd weigh 500 lbs if I could eat all the fried food and chocolate I'd want!
My prescription for you is to make some peppermint tea and read a good book!
