Hi nannysue, sorry your having a bad time at the moment! Ibs can be sooo tiring. Im 60 and feel about 90 during a flare up!! Other times im active and up and buzzing like i had nothing wrong with me. It definately floors us, both young and old during a flare up. Im so glad my children were grown up when i developed ibs, my heart goes out to the young mums who have this nasty condition, trying to cope with young kids and feeling sick with ibs must be a nightmare. I only have myself to worry about and that is tough enough during the bad days. Hope you feel good again soon, and by the way you are very proficient on your pc, well done. X

Hi

You didn't say which type of ibs you had,I have ibs c and the pain you are having sounds just like mine and when I get a flare up I can do nothing but rest as I can hardly walk I am 46 but like you very active.

Have you tried yoga? There's a lot of stuff on you tube for ibs and it can really help.

I have been through all the tests and everything has come back as normal which is good but frustrating ,I have changed doctors as my old doctor told me to live with it.

Sorry I cannot be any help but sometime it helps that you are not on your own.
