does ibs go away - #26203
I am feeling kinda lost here. For the past few years, I’ve been dealing with what I think is IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). I get these crazy stomach pains, bloating, and sometimes the bathroom trips are just wild. It’s like a roller coaster with no end! I tried different diets—low FODMAP, gluten-free, you name it. I even went to my doctor, and he said that while there’s no cure for IBS, he reassured me that many people can manage their symptoms. But honestly, does IBS go away at any point? Like, I read some forums where people said they outgrew it, but others, like my aunt, are still struggling after years. I really want to believe that this won’t be my life forever, ya know? I sometimes feel like I’m missing out on so much because of it, especially when I’m out with friends or just trying to enjoy food. I’m super curious if anyone here has had their IBS just... go away? Like a magic trick or something? Or do I need to resign myself to this forever battle? Also, if it helps, I’m also stress kind of person, so maybe that plays a role too? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
