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! Niki xxx
