I've only recently been diagnosed the last year with IBS and it is horrible. I'm writing this while in bed because I really don't want to move.
Are my anxietys heightened when I'm out because of it? YES
Do I feel self conscious with it ? YES
Does it get me down? YES
Don't get me wrong since being on medication for it it has helped but there is still times when the medication just doesn't have an effect. And at the point it's the 100m dash to the loo, hoping that I make it.
Luckily I haven't yet (touch wood) had full on spasms with it.
So one of the things that was recommended was going gluten free. I have to say I haven't stuck fully with it because I was told I didn't have to but for the most part it's gluten free I go for if I'm out. It is slightly dearer but if it means that I'm not having to leave for the loo 5min after I eat something that disagrees with me then that's the way it has to be.
There has been an instance where I got to see the inside of a bathroom 4 times in hour because of ibs. To someone who doesn't have the condition it isn't normal to those of us that do have it THATS LIFE.
