Welcome! I'm newer to this app as well. I hope you find some folks to truly relate to on here! Feel free to reach out if you just need someone to talk/vent to.

Hi!! It’s nice to meet you!! I’m not a parent but I have one of your symptoms, IBS and I understand how much it can affect your life and mental state. It takes time to learn how to deal with your symptoms and find products that help you manage. Especially when you get diagnosed for the first time, it can feel like you’ve lost control. I wish you the best!!

I’m a parent but my kids are grown. I still have to tend to my daughter’s needs at 17 but she is pretty independent.
