Hi Everyone
I am having a hard time not rebelling against my IBS. I don't get it as bad as some people have mentioned they do but if I overeat like tonight, then I get a very loud growling sound in my stomach , feel the need to go to the loo and then get cramps.

I've noticed my IBS has got a lot better recently, in the summer I was very bad and couldnt eat anything without being in a lot of pain. Now its a lot better and I am still taking it for granted.

I used to be a binge eater and now just have the occasional time where I will eat chocolate and then get a bad IBS attack like tonight. I havent even eaten that much of it but it affects me a lot. I dont suppose having a large meal before that helped.

Ive done a lot of what the IBS diet suggests, I dont drink, dont smoke, I dont have fizzy drinks, no red meat, no spicey stuff, no milk/dairy but with chocolate I feel like
Im really missing out if I dont have some.

Im trying to lose weight so that doesnt help, it seems like a big pressure not to be able to eat what I want.

How do you cope mentally whilst following this IBS diet and has anyone here lost any weight doing it?

I'd be grateful for any advice you have for me!
