Hang in there things will get better. I have been suffering with IBS for about 2 years now and I know what you feel like. There are just days that I feel so crappy and I have more D than C. I also hate feeling this way and it is hard to explain to your family what you are going through. There are times that I just wish they could go through this once just to see what we go thorugh (not that I wish this on anyone but.....)
Just know that there is a bright star at the end of this. It would be nice if you could just go out a few times a week and not have to worry about this. I too get tired of thinking about my stomach. I would love to go out and just eat like everyone else but alas I can't. I just have to remember that if I do then I end up on the toilet half the night so its just no worth it.
Yes give yourself some time to get used to the new medicine I know with me it took awhile but now I am doing pretty good. I haven't had an attack in over two weeks. That is pretty good for me. I also use the book that Heather wrote and it has helped alot. My trainer has also helped alot as he has studied IBS in college so he kind of knows what to look for.
Just follow the advice that everyone has given you and you will feel better soon. And yes you can vent here that is what this is for. I mean who else can we vent to??? Our family really doesn't understand what is going on but we do here.
Take care and I hope you feel better soon. Michelle
