I have been told that i have IBs when i was 15 years old. Iam a female. I was all healthy and nice before this syndrome affected me. Now that I am 16 and my GP said that i have IBS, i am beginning to expereince the typical bloating and excessive gas produced in my intestine/stomach. Even at lessons the noise is just annoying but rather it's an embarass. I really want to go back to how i was before. I have just researched more about IBS and in one of the website it mentioned about how 'Malabsorbtion in IBS' could also lead to Malnutrition. So, it's that why I am now getting darker and becoming malnutrioned, small and look like i am 12 years old. I am going to start college soon in Spetember. It's just torture! I hate how i am now...
