Yeah. I think mine started when I was 15. I remember feeling naseated & bad pains. I wouldn't go to the bathroom in high school, cuz I was too cool to do that& I wore TIGHT jeans back then too, wonder if that contributed? I also remember being up in the middle of the night w/ pain & eventually having to quit my part time job at McDonalds.
So when I finally got diagnosed, months later, my GI said it had to do w/ my holding it in. He says I have to learn how to "go" all over again, like retrainig my muscles again. But I think I really messed myself up. Man why did I have to be sooo stupid? My dad has had alot of stomach troubles since he was a kid, so maybe I would have gotten it anyway, but I do blame myself. Needless to say, nowadays I have no problem w/ going no matter where I am. My pride is out the window. If I need to go & you're in there, oh well, bad times for you I guess! LOL
