hi Jo... I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time I will keep you in my prayers I know they work! I know you probably are close to giving up hope but you know that you will get better because you've been like this before. it totally sucks that people don't understand how bad ibs is- I had a similar situation with my uncle's civil ceremony to his partner. my grandma's a good one for the 'you've got to be well for the day' and it really got me frustrated but I just had to breath through it and know that if I couldn't make it then I simply couldn't no matter what people thought of me... well I'd love to say that I went and everything went fine but I didn't I stayed at home, but they went and they had a brilliant time without me because although they love would love me to be there they love me more! and your bf and his family love you more too! I know it's so frustrating when it seems like'what am I doing wrong' but it will get better if you can just ride this time out because the night is long but soon the morning will come (sorry I can't help but quote the Bible sometimes lol but it's so relevent) it's really awful when the docs expect you to just get on with it but there are lots of answers out there, I think sometimes as much as it sucks and is sooooo frustrating there will be times when ibs flares and you just have to keep on doing your diet and other ways you use to cope.
sending lots of love and hugs and prayers your way and really hope you get better soon you are really strong and can cope just trust your ability to do so xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
