I Have Ibs

So I have IBS, I have had it for quite some time but I wasn't diagnosed, I've actually been diagnosed quite recently. It started off with really bad gas, I've always struggled with it and suffered pain due to trapped wind. I've always suffered stomach cramps For no apparent reasons which have now been explained. It started when my mother was told she had it and then she started wondering if I could have it because before this we didn't really know what IBS is.

It's quite a struggle to have IBS because it is different for every person, and it doesn't impact me at every single minute of the day, I can have flare ups or relapses (where it doesn't bother me at all) and then it can hit hard at any moment. There is no cure for IBS so I have to deal with and I have to fight it so it won't control my life

Go vegan. Lots of things can be cured/ relieved with the foods we eat.
Diabetes, acne etc are fixable with food

I am also iron deficient so I rely on certain meats and animal products to get my ironand for IBS it is recommended that people eat 3 portions of fruit and veg per day as if can have a laxative effect, but I see where's you are coming from

@randompi: maybe try iron supplements? They (docs) tried to label me with that but i rejected it. I changed what i eat and dont have half as many issues. I didnt know i had food allergies until doing my own research

I've had them but they taste awful, I think they taste like rusty pennies from the 1980's

Rusty pennies? Lol I'm sorry they didn't work fir for you

randompi · 22-25, F

I can't stand the taste of them

@randompi: Why are you tasting coins? 😂

randompi · 22-25, F

Well, I've never put money in my mouth directly, but I've had money in my hands and then if I have eaten anything afterwards and the taste has been on my hands I can taste it
