Re: Feeling so guilty - Can't leave the house I am so miserable       06/19/04 05:51 AM Edit Reply Quote JosephC Reged: 01/25/04 Posts: 125 Loc: Kansas City Oh, dont feel like that. It surely wont help your tummy to feel guilty about it. You just live and learn. Its really tough, I know. My mother is pretty sympathetic, but I told her myself not to change HER life because I have to change mine, so she tries and eats what I do, but she all has Nestle Crunch bars in the freezer and there is a part of me that wants to just gobble one down. And sometimes you might get away with it. But you might not and pay for it later. But its up to only YOU to decide that. Maybe its worth a day or two of pain to feel "normal" again for a little while. I've been pretty good once I started. I still have cheese sammiches maybe once a week because I can tolerate it (and I hate soy cheese), but I dont dare go for a ice cream bar or indulge in what WAS my favorite-Philly cheesesteaks. We, or at least I, wouldnt turn our backs to you because you made a bad choice. IBS is all about learning your limitaions, I think. Some might scold you or tell you you know what you did wrong, but its only to be helpful. I've only had IBS for a short time-less than a year. And I'm going as hard as I can to get myself better or at least stable. I'm on the CDs, I eat the way Heather has said-though I still have a hard time with soy and Im still in the dark on a lot of veggies. But, as foolish as it might be, I hold out hope that one day..hopefully soon...I can get back to a normal life. I worry that the longer I have IBS, the more I'll ALWAYS have it. Maybe you feel that way, I dunno. But I feel in my heart that someday, we'll all be able to eat things without consequence, though this IBS diet has taught me some good things about nutrition I'll probably always keep. I rambled a bit...sorry but I hope I was clear anough for you to get that we're all here for you and no matter how many times you stumble, we're all still here to pick you up.
