Saturday I went to the grocery store. My grocery bill keeps getting smaller since I can't eat anything! There's wheat in everything and lactose too. When I finally find something to eat that hasn't any wheat, meat or lactose in it, IT'S TASTELESS.
I got this mango sorbet without lactose, gluten or fat. Well, it taste like smooth ice with a vague taste of mango. And don't get me started about tofu. Tofu dog, tofu burger, tofu everything taste like cr*p even if it's mixed with something else. My body hates me. I always ate everything I wanted, junk food, deserts, munchies, booze. And one day, without notice nor a few symptoms, POW! Ibs comes in. My body start to be so picky that buying food is a nightmare. My boyfriend is complaining that we can't have sex or go to the restaurant. I don't return calls. I watch movies on my couch and go to work. That's about it.
I mean, food is the essence of life ! You can't survive if you don't eat. It's not luxury to eat. How can a body refuse to digest and assimilate something that will get it healthier and stronger ?! If I ever get married, what will I eat at my wedding ? Carrots?
What will I eat on christmas day? celery ? Stupid gut

I know how you feel. I'm assuming you've explained to your boyfriend about the IBS issues that you're having; but it's unfortunate that he seems to not be willing to accept the limitations on the things you can do. I'm sure it's frustrating to both you and him not being able to do the things that couples normally do together ... and it's unfortunate that there's really nothing you can do about it. Still, I'm sure there are products out there to help with IBS symptoms; for example Immodium for D, etc...
Personally, I had a problem with D before I started my current medication, and once I started taking it then the D really stopped. Now it's more C, but at least that's something that doesn't really interfere with my life too much (well except for the pain...). Hopefully you can find something that makes your life a little more, well, live-able!
