Ever since I was 14 in highschool, having it rough with stress, and health problems-I got IBS. It just added to my depression and many days of not eating anything only worsened my feelings. Also, doctors made me think I was all crazy and like I wasn't really sick. They acted like I was spoiled and just wanted to get out of school, but I don't know who would say, hey I think I'll go to the bathroom all day... Also, there were so many many times that I wished I could rip out my gut myself, it hurt so bad-I had a chronic case.
Is it normal for an IBS sufferer to be up at night losing hours of sleep? Also, it used to interfere with all my daily activities, such as not being able to travel at age 14. I think the reason I didn't eat or not eat too much, is because I thought it would hurt my gut, though, I had no reason why. This was a major inconvenience. You see I have a heart conditon, www.4hcm.org, and it was putting strain on it and I was weakened. It was really tough, it was a hassle just to go to the doctor, because my gut would clench up on me and then I would have to go so bad. One point, the pain was so bad, I could just cry.
