Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
I've had Irritable Bowel Syndrome since I was 15, and since then, my life has been flipped upside down. I suffer mainly from IBS-C, but with bouts of IBS-D. Pain is the predominate symptom. I also have a moderate case of Gastroparesis. Highschool was a disaster and college (even though better social life) has not been a fun experience. Currently, my IBS has gotten out of control, and no doctor, whether medical or homeopathic, knows what to do. I am praying for a miracle at this point.

Open Chronic Pain
I have chronic pain due to IBS. It's the main symptom I have. It's a daily struggle, and, at times, extremely frustrating. I have tried many drugs for pain and IBS, but nothing seems to help enough. Stress reduction might be a step in the right direction.
