Recently diagnosed with IBS -becoming depressed?!
Question: Recently diagnosed with IBS -becoming depressed!?
I've had IBS-like symptoms for two years but in the past two MONTHS I've had really bad symptoms brought on by stress and so I finally went to the doctor and was officially diagnosed with IBS!. The worst thing is the bloating -after some meals (sometimes lunch, mainly dinner), I can get really bad bloating that makes my stomach huge!. I'm a thin person so its really noticable and I feel like I can't wear normal fitting tops anymore!. I'm afraid people will look at my stomach and think I'm pregnant!. I feel so depressed because I can't enjoy food like I used too -can't snack like I used to !.!.!.I don't even like eating anymore because its become a task more than a normal, non-frustrating part of life!. I've added more fiber to my diet, I drink tons of water, but I still can't eat the foods I used to enjoy!.!.!. I just want to go back to the way I was a few months ago! =(Www@Answer-Health@Com
