Hey x Contact with anyone would help sooo much! I've just been 'officially diagnosed' with IBS not that doctors really know how to help. I've seen a gastroenterologist too and he suggested a high fibre diet that has nearly killed me NEVER TAKE LACTULOSE! oh it hurts!
I'm taking antispasm tablets and codine phosphate but nothing is easing the symptoms...i'd so love to have a normal bowel movement. How are you guys managing to socialise because i feel as if my life is on hold and all i ever seem to talk about is poo. ugh. I dont know what to eat or what to avoid, how to beat the anxiety that comes with IBS and how to get out of this rut. I'm not trying to wallow in self pity but i really don't know what to do. I'm only 19 and feel as if my life is being totally controlled by my digestive system. meep,
