Well everyone, today I was talking to mother. She seemed very concerned and worried about the colonoscopy she is about to go through next friday.Anyway, I was telling her all about what happens, IBS, IBD, celiacs and the ibs diet. Well anyway,then she started to ask me a whole bunch of questions (Like I was a doc or something) and it was cool because I actually knew the answers to everything she was asking. Then I told her that I dont think she has ibs because she can eat anything she wants anytime she wants. She was sorta quiet after that, and then she let it just all come out. She told me that when she was about 12 she had severe constipation and abdominal pain. She told me that this lasted until she was 19 (when she had me) She told me that she missed so much school because of her bad tummy aches. But then she said that when she was pregnant with me, her constipation and pain suddenly went away. She told me that it was completely gone and it didnt come back until about 1999. Now she says she gets D about once a month (period time) and that she gets abdominal pain often. She also told me that my grandfather had IBS. She told me that he was never diagnosed though, and went through his whole life having to live with the pain. She said he never took meds for it, nor did he know about the fiber thing. Well anyway, Im so glad she came out with the truth with me. It is very comforting to know that she went through the same exact thing when she was my age.
