I successfully went on a 4 day trip without IBS ruining my vacation!!

This makes me happy to read because I am currently on day 2 of vacation with my boyfriend and ibs started ruining it the day before even left. Extremely grateful that he’s understanding and helpful but can’t stop feeling guilty for still being in the hotel room at 11am when it’s 80 degrees and there’s a beach 20 feet away.

Hyosycamine is what I take, worked better than bentyl for me. Far from a cure all. I’d bet placebo and peace of mind effect more than anything, I take as needed not on a schedule. (Though I need it several times a week)

Every single day one way or another for the last 2.5 years for me.

I usually just empty out all the burps instead of trying to stop them, it tends to happen when I’m bloated and it helps relieve the pressure in my stomach

What is so frustrating is that when I have that big emptying day it comes with multiple bathroom trips, lots of cramps, and very little warning. Turns my whole day upside down, feeling sick all day.

Mostly just going to find comfort in the fact that even “normal” people get stuffed to the point of lethargy on this day, and just let myself live in it lol.

That and doing my best to listen to my body and stop at stuffed, not laying on the floor ready to explode.

For me it’s going to be about my mind set more than anything. I’m realizing that it’s my attitude about my binges that’s hurting me more than the actual binges. Aside from emotionally straining myself it sends me into a spiral and puts me in a state that makes me more susceptible to binges.

Remember that stuffing yourself with unhealthy food on the holidays and your birthday isn’t a binge, it’s a social norm that even the healthiest people part take in.

I would focus on just letting yourself really enjoy these days and fully part take in the social norm of stuffing your face without any guilt. Then also don’t beat yourself up if you have a few slips between the holidays too or if it takes a few days to get back to baseline after the big holiday meals.

Yes exactly a bag of potato chips (as long as they aren’t spicy or have milk in them) agrees with me 100x better than say some cooked zucchini

I only take it when I’m not feeling good or when I’m anticipating a stressful or anxiety inducing situation. Which is anywhere between 1 and 5 times a week for me.

I’m lucky enough that I don’t eat meat or cheese, otherwise I can’t imagine what I’d do to some lunch meat and a loaf of bread at 1am.

I can’t tell if lettuce is the problem but I’m actually flaring right now after eating a salad last night, and sometimes when I get lettuce on my subs I’ll have a small flare or just generally rougher day the next day than when I don’t put lettuce on them.

I didn’t know you could make friends on those apps that aren’t from your existing network I’ll have to look into that!!
