Please don't be so hard on yourself! With IBS as with everything in life, we can only do the best we can, learn from our mistakes and move on.

I've been lucky. Once I found this website and had a plan for making myself better, it wasn't so hard for me to change things, the benefits far outweighed anything I gave up. Like Bev, I adored coffee (which has been replaced by Peppermint Tea). Unlike Bev, I also love a big steak (this has been replaced by Seafood, Turkey & Chicken). Little by little I've found substitutions for foods or drinks that I like and am feeling alot better. Even so, there are still days when I have symptoms but they are not nearly as bad as before. One of the hard things for me is when someone says "You have to get feeling better so you can have .....". This is it for me, I've finally gotten to a point where my diet has enough variety for me to imagine comfortably staying with it forever. You'll get there to and you have all the help you need here!

Eating out is challenging, but so far I've always found at least two items on a menu that I can have.

Anyway, keep your chin up and hope you feel better soon.

Kim
