Hi everyone
This will not be a very uplifting post. I've been feeling so terrible lately. My schedule now that I'm back in school (university) is not working well with my IBS, which was so stable when I was boring 9-5 working over the summer. I a bit more stressed now, just due to all the activities I'm involved in. Plus being on campus and in classes or clubs meetings for hours at a time makes it difficult to eat every 3-4 hours, plus bringing lots of food is not always convenient, and buying campus food is fairly limited in choices for me, not to mention expensive. I try to get all my Acacia every day but this too is becoming difficult as I'm not always sure when I'll be home and don't always remember to bring some with me... stupid I know but things are moving so quickly for me right now. I want to just stop, take a few days off and focus on my stomach, but that's not really possible.
My mornings have been so horrific lately. I've been getting awful D every morning for the last few weeks. I've been taking Immodium after - which I know is making it worse probably, as by bowels are becoming dependent, but I can't just be stuck on the toilet when I'm supposed to be in class! I've been eating just soluble fiber for the last week now, and every time I try to reincorporate insolubles the next morning is worse than ever. I'm ok during the day, it's just the mornings.
I'm hating my IBS so much right now and just generally feeling terrible! Any encouragement or suggestions would be appreciated.
Laurel.
