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

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

maybe its more like a food intolerance? Its like an alergy except not life threatening..like me and clams and clam juice(its in clam chowder) I get the sickest I've ever been in my life with ibs its severe suffering until Its all out of my system. no vomiting rashes or anything like that just extreme and severe digestive upset.

thanks for advice but I can't have that. I'm trying the fodmaps approach a new diet approach maybe after I'm not sick with a cold/infected eyes I will see improvement

no just your girlfriend doesn't
