When were you diagnosed with IBS?

I was diagnosed last year. I was slightly hesitant at first sharing that with others but then I stopped caring because why be embarrassed? It’s just how your body functions. They don’t know or have to know what symptoms you have that come with it so it’s not like you’re sharing anything “gross”. Plus I got diagnosed with being lactose intolerant this year so I’ve just accepted people will see me as the one with the sensitive stomach haha

2008. Nah why be embarrassed can’t change Dx just the outcome

Was diagnosed in 2009, and in the beginning I was but now not anymore.

DX’d in 2018 and not really embarrassed about it. It’s actually a quite common diagnosis, so you’ll more than likely run into someone irl you can relate to!
