Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: New

Hi Mary!

Welcome to the boards! Congrats on your baby and sympathy for all the pain you've been through!! You probably want to repost this on the Diet for IBS thread- more people will see it there. I will say that lots of people on this board are pregnant or trying, and that people with IBS have kids all the time, so don't worry about that. I don't know about the second question, and as for the third- I'm not sure anyone can promise you will ever feel "normal" completely again. IBS is a syndrome, which means we all deal with it as part of our daily life. Some of us can go long stretches, once we're stable, without pain and with normal bowel movements. Some people can't. Some people have to be really really strict with the diet and some cheat with little consequences. Everybody's different. The hope is to feel a lot better, and to keep functioning, even if you can never go back to your old diet or lifestyle. Good luck!! And I hope after you repost people give you good answers!
