I used to have a mild case of it, but it seems to be ok now. That was like 16 years ago.

OK, I'll admit it--I was diagnosed at 21. It's not exactly a pleasant thing to talk about. Unfortunately, it's a sad reality for a lot of people. I remember that Kelsey Grammer's ex-wife is one of the first semi-celebrity I'd ever heard say they have it. I think it's good that she put a semi-recognizable face to it.

so is it like it just went away? mine is sever everyday getting to the point I wonder if I can even work much longer...Its causing me to lose alot of sleep. Today I slept like 2 hours I have a cold and started my menstral and my back is sore and I keep having to get up and go to the bathroom and I go to work a little less than 5 hours....hopefully the violent snezes and me looking like a wreck will get me sent home early but I won't have my hopes up because I doubt it.

very true i can't talk about it with anyone unless its my boyfriend or parents and someone online..if a relative asks about it or starts giving me advice(which is never helpful actually would make me worse) I hate it alot...Its been 5 or 6 years since I have even seen almost all my relatives and they judge me saying its bullshit I can't travel and se them on holidays but I can work 6 hours. My schedule is the same evryday I have to work at 5 pm and I am always late I told them I don't have a ride until 5 so now I work at 5:15 It's a challenge even getting there that time. If I don't go to bed soon after I get off work I can't get enough sleep cuz I'm a really light sleper and other people live here It's not an option to take naps because My ibs freaks out and keps me in the bathroom every hour or several times an hour..well then its time for workThey've no idea the hell I go through just having to be at work for that long I have to hold my tears in and act like I'm ok or just grumpy or or pmsing bad or somethin..

I can only talk about it with the closest people to me,if I had a choice I would probly keep most of it from my dad he had made fun of me and told people I didn't want to know I felt very angry and hurt

My relatives or the people that say shit about me and judge me without even asking me or talking to me aren't worth my time. The people I work with are ok most of them I like but I don't trust them not to ask a bunch of questions or think I'm lying or faking it or say things that make me uncomfortable

I do and it sucks! It cycles, sometimes I'll be fine for a few days or weeks then it's holy hell for days or weeks. It's also at it's worst during my period- like I don't already have enough going on then! >.< It's such a life-interrupting pain in the ass.

Honestly, I'm not sure.

Crohn's Disease (an autoimmune disease that is very similar, but MUCH more severe than IBS) runs in my family, appearing in every generation for at least the past 5 generations. I'm almost guaranteed to get it at some point in my life. My dad has it, and I fear it incredibly because I see his .

I am lactose-sensitive, with flare-ups of intense intolerance at times. I have other autoimmune diseases (severe psoriasis, beginnings of arthritis, mild restless leg syndrome), and where there's one, there's often several to come. IBS is also an autoimmune disease.

I have IBS with constipation, though sometimes it can go the other way, too. I was diagnosed when I was 17. I mostly don't do a lot of running to the bathroom, but I get a lot of stomach pain. There was a point where I was only going to the bathroom maybe once every week or two. That was pretty awful. I started taking fiber, and that helped, but I still deal with it on a daily basis. If I don't watch it, I get pretty bad cramps, bloating, and just all around pain. But then sometimes I do everything I should and it still acts up, or it will even go the other way and keep me in the bathroom all day.

I don't, though I get awful stomach cramps whenever I eat at two restaurants, Cheap Charlie's and Wendy's. I can get the same exact food I would get somewhere else or make at home, and still leave feeling ill.

Do you work? if so has it made you late or stuck in the bathroom at work? did you explain your problem to others or did you make up some other excuse like your sick and thought u may throw up or stomach upset? how can you drive or pay attention to your job with pain like that? my job is demanding I work in fast foo and I can't say I get alot of pain once in a while I get some mostly sever bloat discomfort mucus,incomplete evacuation the terrible bloat and gas sometimes make it so I go a day without sleeping its unbearable..it happens a few times a month before my period or during...Yesteday I was running on zero sleep,a bad cold,starting my period and in the bathroom 3 times every hour. I worked for an hour I was sent home early...I went to bed 20 minutes to 9 by that time I was hunched over barely able to move myself around

I have a lot less problems with mine now. It seems stress, greasy, fatty food, and my period irritate it.

While my system can be a picky bitch, i do not have IBS. Some foods though, and certain spices, will put me on the toilet for a while, though, so I try to watch what i eat and then I'm fine.

About once/month or so I'll have an episode where my entire abdomen cramps up for about 12 hours. All I can do is lie motionless until its over. The last one, a few weeks ago, was particularly bad with lingering intestinal upset for an entire week.

Potato chips trigger it for me. I won't eat them anymore. Flax seeds used to trigger it, but I seem to be ok with those now.

I thought I might have IBS, but it turns out I've developed a severe lactose intolerance... also not fun, but can be managed, so I consider myself lucky.
