Thanks for the advice. Btw, I'm a junior in school right now. My family tells me exactly what you are saying- things are different and better in college/life. Despite that, I'm setting my goals high- by this summer, I want IBS to have a minimal impact on my life.
"I am very happy that you are feeling better physically. As far as your Mom and her worries, would it be possible for you to sit down and talk with her about how her being stressed makes you feel stressed which can make your IBS worse? I know she is just worried for you. A mother never wants to see her child in pain. Maybe if the two of you research IBS and work together as far as your diet, etc. she will feel more positive and supportive."
I already sat her down and had a talk, several times. Today, a few days ago, a few days before that. She has a lot of anxiety problems after having been diagnosed with cancer (and cured) two years ago, so I guess I'll have to accept that. Today, she told me we are wired the same way. Its true, and thats probably why I have medical problems. Like her, I can't handle stress.
