  • I hope this helps you sweetie, just be very honest and open with them, dont try and put a brave face on it. After what I've been going through lately I know just how you will be feeling all the time and it must be awful, at least mine seem to be in bouts and the roughest bits are lasting 4/5 days at most. Good luck x
  • my best friend sees one and has been prescribed meds for anxiety... hers got so bad she almost could drive bc of panic attacks. But with the meds, it's much better. Much more manageable. Good luck :)
  • Make sure to ask if the meds they offer don't have gastric side effects as it will aggravate your condition. Most cause loose stools in the beginning.

    Are you eating an adequate amount of fiber, especially soluble fibers (i.e. whole grains, fruits, veggies, beans/legumes), they help alleviate symptoms of IBS.
  • Anything I seem to eat goes through me @Mijita esp fruit veg fish meat cereals etc no matter what I eat :( xx
