Sorry Sarah ! You're right, IBS sucks and I also wonder whether I'll ever be able to eat whatever I want! I have friends who are trying to lose weight and I'm so jealous of their diets, because if they cheat the only punishment is a few oz of weight gain but no pain or C or bloat . But that's why we have each other here, when someone has a bad day the rest of the board members are here for emotional support
I also think of days when I didn't have to worry about anything I put into my mouth and I was fine. Oh well. But we will get to the point where we'll have our diets figured out and will be mostly symptom free! We've gotta believe and keep going!
