Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | i wonder what it's like to be normal

some of you know what it's like to be normal.. anyone on the same boat as me.. where they have no clue? i have had "tummy problems" ever since i'm a toddler! i don't remember ever not having a problem when it came to eating.. i was always running to the bathroom.. trying to figure out why i always had to run.. and then it turned into less running at about 19.. and it seemed like i was finally pooping normally.. however instead of running to the bathroom and getting it over with.. i got gas.. and all day long.. and i've changed my diet.. for about a year i was on a celiac diet.. plus no dairy.. now i'm back to eating grains and such but not what seems to be the healthier foods like whole grains and fruits and veggies.. and no matter what i eat or don't eat.. i blow up like a ballon and slowly deflate thru my butt.. oh it would be nice to just have to run to the bathroom again.. but i wonder what it is like to not have to do that.. not have to fart all day long.. not have to worry about what i eat, drink and chew.. sigh..
