Again woke up this morning with this Gnawing,Scratching ,Pinching,Pressure like pain and "URGE" to do poop inside me sat on the toilet several times and nothing happened not even a thimble/egg cup of wee and really scared that when I do go I will "UNBLOCK" myself 2 that nasty watery stuff I can't control and will give me no end of problems throughout the day again today I am scared 2 go and scared not 2 "CATCH22" again today as yes I do get jealous of all the people being able 2 eat and drink what they like without the worry of knowing where the toilet is all the time yes I do have a RADAR key and card also but when it attacks you without warning it does very little when you just can't control it's disgusting and so nasty when it does!!!! as before all of this I used 2 be able 2 eat what ever and having 2 keep on wearing paper pants even at home and forever shopping online 2 find the cheapest deals as they are so costly as some days I've lost count of how many I can use I have tried 2 follow FODMAPS but so confused by them as I don't think the Doc or Dieticians really know what 2 do 4 it as again ever twinge I get I have 2 dash 2 the toilet just in case and don't get me started on probiotics/preboitcs I've been told about them but never been told when 2 take them or how much each of them 2 take where as if you get antibiotics 4 an infection you do and I can't plan 2 go out so I don't bother thanks 4 online supermarket shopping and My Husband doesn't understand at all SORRY 4 my spelling mistakes!!!

There is medication for both diarrhea and constipation, your Dr should know this. As for fodmap your dietitian should be well versed in that and able to help. Trouble is you need to ask them to explain it all to you if you don't understand. You need to start trusting the professionals some time. You could also take your husband along to appointments so he gets to understand the hell your going through. Best thing I ever did with my wife, she now understands fully my predicament.

You realistically have 2 choices. Learn to manage the symptoms or do everything you can to counter them. With Dr google at your finger tips, research, research and research. Stick to recognised institutions for accurate information like NHS UK, Davita and Mayo clinic etc.
