I totally understand what you are going through. I have had IBS since i was 13 years old, i am not 29 and i was just diagnosised with IBS before this month i was told by every doctor that i am perfectly healthy and it was all in my head. Please don't get depressed, becuase stress and emotions can make matters worse. I find walking my dog and playing with my girls make all the difference in the world with my stress level and help me eliviate some of the symptoms. Not all the time but most of the time. if you need to talk to feel free to email me at dlt_dalton@yahoo.com.
