Hi there!

We are many here who recognize your frustration. You can be sure we will all do our best to help you get better. You are most definitely not alone. A lot of people still think IBS is "not a real condition", "only in your head" et.c., but by now there is plenty of proof that this is in fact a physical condition. Another thing that can make people less empathetic is that maybe as many as 20% of the population has IBS of some degree. But most people only have a mild form, getting a bit of a stomach ache or mild bloating or getting an attack of C or D maybe a couple of times a year. That can make people think things like "so you have IBS, but I have that too and I don't let it effect me".

But you don't have to worry about that here. We all know just how disabling this condition can be. So anything you want to ask just go ahead and we're many here who will try to help you.

/Ulrika, IBS-D
