IBS-Does it come and go?

Hi!

I have a mild case of IBS and just wondered if you all find that yours comes and goes. i.e. You have flare-ups and then periods where you're "stable".

I get confused though...if I seem to be stable can I then try foods that might otherwise bother me? Even if I am doing fine I still get so fearful of an attack. It's almost an obsession!! Very annoying. Even the slightest little pain makes me worry more is coming. Grrr...

Anyone else feel this way?

That's a good question!


I find that my IBS comes and goes and I tend to try to not think about it too much, since it always evens out eventually.


If you want to try foods when you are feeling better, remember to keep a food journal, in case something doesn't show up immediately.
