One day of normality

[Montykat]

Just having a moan. Im sick of being ‘that’ person who cant eat this or that. Its a beautiful day all i want is a family bbq and a glass of wine. #notgonna happen# 😒

I find myself looking at other people with amazement as they can eat without fear. They have no idea.

[Montykat in reply to Forestina]

I know i work in an office with 2 others and its so hard watching them eat. Im always asking if things dont give them a stomach ache 😂.

I think we all can relate.

Oh ditto that. Unless yiu suffer with this others truly dont have an idea what it does to you.

Yes that’s me! I was at a family do recently and ate like everyone, then suffered all night!

I can relate too. I never know what is going to trigger my IBS. On days when I know I have to go somewhere like a party or restaurant, even if I'm feeling ok I will often take an Imodium before leaving the house just in case I eat something that disagrees with me. That plan worked pretty well until recently. Usually a day after taking the Imodium I would have a normal-ish BM but lately after that first normal one it will go down hill super fast and I'll end up with the dredded D which only makes me want to take more Imodium. On a new probiotic now from a nutritionist, hoping it will help get my gut back on track. Also trying to avoid gluten, sugar, and dairy based on the nutritionist's suggestion. You're not alone! Just continue to be your own advocate!
