My life at age 26 sucks and is not worth living, and it is ALL because of IBS.Perfect example is this past week.Usually I have my strict diet, exercise routine which even then IBS still sucks.However this week I meet up with a buddy for a change out of town.Went to the restaraunt, couldn't find anything to eat. Finally did...but when the server brought it to the table it had butter in it...so they had to bring me a new dish.Didn't matter...after spending 20+ bucks for dinner AND causing a scene my gut was a mess.Then went to have a few drinks with my buddy.I never drink, which means I am a hermit because if you can't drink then that eliminates 100% of socializing.Now my gut is a complete mess and this just verifies WHY at 26 I have no friends.It is because of IBS...I can't do anything.I can't go out to eat without causing a scene to make sure the food is safe, and even then it still gives me problems.I end up wasting 20 bucks and looking like a douche.I can't drink which is what young adults (and all grown ups) social scene revolves around.I end up being made fun of for having a fat beer gut...even though I exercise 6 hours a week. My body never shows how fit I am because my IBS symptoms distort it due to bloating.People think I am a lazy fatass with no motivation.I really wish I had cancer...that way my medical condition would be taken seriously and one way or another it would be resolved.Growing up I was a skinny kid who trouble making friends...why did God have to make it 100X worse by now giving me this chronic uncurable condition cursing me forever with a beer gut and being a hermit?Why can't GI doctors who are supposed to be 'experts' on the GI gut understand and solve?If I had cancer at least people would be sympathetic and doctors might help and if not, I'd be out of my suffering.I am convinced the biggest curse you can do to a person is not kill them but instead give them a chronic non-life threatening condition, this way they have to live in misery everyday for a long while.
