Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Signs of Aging coinciding with IBS onset?

Hello all,
I am having a really hard time of it. I am over a year into my IBS and I never found the magic foods that would stave off my symptoms. I did manage to regularize my BM somewhat. But everytime I eat essentially I bloat like a pregnant lady...the only time I get to more resemble my former svelte self is when I first wake up...and then it's all downhill from there.

Well there's something more to this than just the extreme bloating that is disturbing me immensely. I have noticed alot of aging signs over the last year. I am in my early 30s and I am really shocked at the changes I have witnessed. My skin tone is worse. My skin is stretching, saggier. I acquired cellulite. I gained weight despite eating so little.

It's almost as if all of this happened simultaneously and I am really in quite some shock. Can anyone relate to this at all? It's not just the IBS and bloating for me...it's almost like other things have gone haywire too, especially my skin. It's really distressing.

Merry
