I have no one around me to talk to about this, but I figured you guys are really the best-qualified to give me your opinions. No one else in my life can understand my situation better than you all!
Okay, here it is: Do any of you turn down your spouse/significant other when they want to have sex because you have IBS symptoms? I feel like I do it quite a bit, and I feel bad about that. But my symptoms (when I have them) tend to occur in the evening, and feeling C or having gas/bloat doesn't exactly put me in the mood! I know DH understands, and he's very sympathetic to my IBS issues, but I know he gets frustrated, and he has every right to! Being on an AD doesn't really help either since it makes things "more difficult" if you know what I mean. So sex is often a frustrating experience for me.
I love my husband more than anything; it has nothing to do with that. I guess I'm just curious about how you all deal with that aspect of your intimate relationships.
