Me too! I've been A mostly though. I was talking to my grandma a while back. She was very ill and we were having a lot of heart-to-heart's while I sat with her in the hospital. I know I was really sick as a teen, but diagnosed only at 18. Grandma told me I was almost always not well. Not always sick, but I had tummy aches and D all the time. Half way through dinner at a lot of family dinners I had to leave the table. And once she told me about it, I started to remember it - crawling under the table to get out of the dining room - running to the outhouse at camp at all hours of the night - being happy for the new microwave to reheat my dinner that was stone cold because I was away from the table so long.
I wonder too, what is "normal" and what is it like? For me, my IBS is manageable and has been for most of my life (expept last Feb / March) so I really am lucky. I've made it this far, I might as well just carry on!
