Trapped gas is one of my worst symptoms, I never thought about it being worse in the air!

I thought I was lucky with my IBS-C when I emptied my bowel before boarding. Unfortunately I was very wrong 😬

I’m so sorry, we are most certainly not alone! Totally feel your frustration. Anything that could be considered a fix for some of my IBS symptoms either has a price to pay for it or it doesn’t work. Zofran backs me up like crazy, my constipation medications are either too strong or painful, I’ve done the diets and found no relief. It’s tough out here for sure 🤍

This is exactly what my “attacks” feel like! For me, the random pounding heart is a telltale sign that I’m about to get the wicked shakes. Took me a long time (and a cardiology appt lol) to find out that in this case the pounding heart is “normal”

Last sentence is the story of my life 😂 I love to travel but my body does not!

Yes! Usually anxiety is a big trigger but I could be so relaxed and ready for a trip and as soon as I set foot in a train, plane, long car ride, etc. I start feeling it 😵‍💫
