Struggling

I am really struggling to carry with my IBS. I don’t feel like eating anything, I am in constant pain, everytime I eat. I’m just fed up of the pain every morning. I just skip meals now. I’m tired, exhausted and physically drained.

  1. I hear you. It can be so hard to make yourself support yourself if that makes sense. You get so physically exhausted that caring for yourself is near impossible. Do you have anyone around you can ask for help? It was the only way I could get through it was with help. I had family do some cooking for me and friends would help with errands like grocery shopping. -Elizabeth (team member)

    1. I totally feel you. It can certainly feel like that when your body is always rejecting food willy and nilly. Since this last post, have you found any helpful means of relief? Any moods that don't trigger you? For me, I've pretty much had to cancel eating at italian restaurants. Everything there is a trigger for me. Whether it's the garlic, herbs, sauces, or creams. It's all bad for ya boy over here. It's been frustrating having to only eat salmon, broccoli, and maybe mashed potatoes when I go out, but I'd rather eat an underwhelming meal than get horrible stomach cramps and feel embarrassed. Even if I'm in the most understanding and accepting of company. I hope you've been feeling well as of late with a better understanding of what triggers you, as well as methods to get through it. You're not alone in this and we're here for you. Wishing you the absolute best. You've got this.
