For the past two years, I have not been comfortable in anything tight around my waist. I use to wear tight jeans or skirts, or pajamias, Now, I absolutely have to have stretchy or dresses that don't have a waist. I wear alot of what we call jumpers, or full body dresses, I also can't stand to have underwear on. I hate it when I have to go to the Dr. and wear them because it hurts my stomach or makes me uncomfortable. People think I am amish due to my style of dressing, but it's all for comfort. Does anyone else have this problem?

Omgosh, do I have a problem with clothing?????
I also try my best to keep from wearing anything tight. When I go shopping, I find myself trying to stretch the fabric on the clothes. I feel so much better in stretchy stuff!
Underwear?? Hate 'em. But, I do wear them, I just buy the granny panties a size or two larger. Bras, I wish I could go without, but, it doesn't look too nice for me to wear a tshirt without a bra.  
I hate tight clothes, used to love them. But, they hurt me, and I try to do anything I can to get away from pain and being uncomfortable. You are not alone.

on clothing. It has been talked about a lot as it is a problem with many of us. 
bloat and pants
underwear advice
You are not alone. It is very frustrating and sad not to be able to wear normal girlie cute clothes anymore  . Just baggy pants and long sweaters to hide the tummy.

I love the princess waisted dresses from chadwicks.. and wear them all the time...
they have both a short and long sleeved versiona dn their petite larges fit me well with a clip on the back to snug in the waist when I'm not bloated, but plenty of room to expand as needed.. I get a lot of compliments on them... wear them even just to go grocery shop...

... is that even thought I have NO bloating, I STILL can't wear stuff with a waist that falls *at* my waist anymore. I have a pretty big collection of vintage 1950s dresses, with tight waists and big poofy skirts. The pressure on my middle is so uncomfortable that I can't wear them at all.
All my pants have to be either low-rise or a couple sizes too big in the waist. Thankfully, I don't mind low-rise, except that I'm always having to pull them up... because belts are too much pressure, too.
Ah, the many little "joys" of IBS.

My problem with clothing just comes mostly from anxiety of being out in something that will make me uncomfortable if I'm not feeling good. Nausea is one of my biggest symptoms and you should see me trying to decide what to wear to go to a movie..the theatres are normally cold but I don't want to be stuck in there feeling bad and being hot (which I just can't stand because it makes me feel sick or just way worse)...so I have to plan accordingly. I generally always wear a thin tank top under my shirts, esp if they are long sleeved or thick so if I'm really hot I can take it off (never really happened, but something about the relief in knowing it's a possibility.
Then now that it's been kinda cold here on and off I've realized I have REALLY bad anxiety about wearing turtlenecks! If I was just going to walk around outside in the freezing cold I guess I could wear one, but to be inside somewhere where it's always warmer than the outside (I hate when places do that to compensate for the cold outside..but then everyone's hot because they've dressed to go outside.) and the pressure on my neck gets to be too much for me.
Well you are not alone, clothing is a big part of being comfortable with IBS.

I just got my official Drs. diagnosis of IBS yesterday. And we decided to forgo a gallbladder and liver sample because they felt that I was truly IBS and it would not cure or fix me to disrupt them. Surgery will make IBS worse for a while. But thanks for all the info!
