Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hey there.Yes thi sis a normal thing to feel.we have all felt the way you do and it will get better.It depends on how long you've suffered,how severe and what you are doing to help yourself.
GaGa will tell you that the meds are there to help when you need it and though not a solution,you do what you need to do to get through and feel better.

How are you feeling besides the depression? Are your symptoms better? If so then as you get used to the efi diet and start to incorporate new food back into it, you will also begin to feel better. remember that it took a long time for your body to "bite back" and it can't be fixed overnight. Sounds hard but it does get much better.we all have slip ups where we get sad for a few days but I think everyone or mostly everyone bounces back in a few days.

It sure is life changing but eating this way is what will make you feel better. Try mixing things up,Don't have rice everyday , Use pasta and potatoes as replacements. Have chicken or fish.there are alot of different kinds of fish so try different ones.Check out the recipes on this site and see if any will suit your needs. Munch all day on safe snacks so at supper you don't feel as hungry then all that "other" food won't be so tempting to you.

Most all remember you are in control of what you eat.It will get better.at some point you will be able to try other foods again and life is just too special to be depressed about food.Yes it's good but the little things are what really count.
You will find alot of support here just keep asking.
good luck.
