Sorry you're having a bad time. Don't forget, this whole IBS life, it's really hard to manage and everyone slips every once in a while. Yes, it may be "your fault" because you ate something you knew you couldn't handle or you didn't take your fiber, but everyone's human. My aunt was just telling me tonight that she didn't think she could adhere to such a strict diet without feeling upset about it and I told her well, I do get upset about it when I mess up and I'm in pain. So I cry some and feel sad and then I wake up my boyfriend, get a hug and some validation and he tells me to breathe and calms me down so I can sleep. And then I get back on track. It's no easy thing to deal with and sometimes it's hard to juggle everything and take such good care of yourself huh? Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I understand how it feels and don't get too down on yourself. Hope you feel better!
