i’m convinced ibs is just a term the docs use when they can’t find a real diagnosis

Irritable bowel syndrome is hard because it's different for so many people. My mom gets diarrhea, my brother and fiance get constipated. I get excessive gas and occasionally constipation. Your gut holds so much of your emotions and reacts accordingly.

I find my diet and stress levels have the greatest impact on my IBS. I didn’t start having issues until I went to university and started eating like crap and had a falling out with my best friend that caused me so much stress and anxiety.
