Today

I found this site today because after years of having IBS, lately it has just become unbearable to live with. I am 45 and I've had IBS since I was 17. There have been good days over the years, but mostly bad. I do wonder how I've survived this long with this much suffering and pain. It is a very lonely disease and seems like no one has this embarassing condition. SOme of the worst symptoms are pain, nausea, the constant activity in the gut with loud and obnoxious noises, and the distress and embarassment that goes along with it al., including the unknown of what my happen today with it. People that have regular bms and no digestive disorders are truly blessed. I have no idea what it feels like not to feel discomfort in my abdomen. Lately the most annoying symptom is constant belching. I cannot stand it. I'm a petite and very thin woman, with a very large stomach pain and I am at a loss for what to do. I've had so many tests, meds, etc. SOmetimes I think things like probiotics or enzymes are my answer and then an attack unrelated to this issues will hit. Anymore, it's an every single day issue. I do believe, I'm so caught up in it that my mind produces some of my symptoms. That's it for today. Onward ho............
