Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi there,

It's been a long time since I've been on the boards--probably at least a year or so. It's good to see some familiar faces! I've had a really bad year and my IBS is back with full force. I need some support in getting back to my IBS diet and staying strong until I can settle things.

I guess it all started last year, when my husband got a job traveling every weekday. We only saw each other on the weekends and in the process of all this, we moved to a new house. I was on Paxil for a about a year before weening myself off them this past May due to the 40 pound (!!!) weight gain.

Things have gotten a little better as my husband has a job in which he doesn't have to travel anymore and I also quit my stressful day job to work from home (which has been a tremendous blessing). The bad news is that I battle depression on almost a daily basis, my IBS is back, and I can't seem to find the willpower to get the weight off.

Sorry to vent, but it feels good to share what I'm going through with sympathetic people who understand. Please help me get back on track.

Kristine
