"Don't worry, It’s Only IBS!” Sound familiar? That’s what my doctor told me all those years ago; dismissing my symptoms like they were no big deal. But if you’re here, you already know that IBS is more than “just” IBS. 🚀 The Beginning of My IBS Journey I was around 15-16 when I first noticed something was wrong. It started with small stomach cramps, urgent trips to the toilet and feeling bloated after meals. I chalked it up to too much sugar and cut back on snacks. But the symptoms didn’t stop. They got worse. Suddenly, I wasn’t just avoiding junk food, I was afraid of eating anything**.** Foods that seemed harmless one day would cause agony the next. My life became a constant guessing game of "Will this meal ruin my day?" Then came my mock exams. Sitting in a silent room, stomach churning, praying I wouldn’t need to make a mad dash to the bathroom. The fear of that moment became bigger than the fear of failing my exams. That’s when I knew something was really wrong. 🔎 Searching for Answers (And Hitting a Dead End) I went to the doctor, hoping for clarity. After a quick stomach exam and some blood tests, they ruled out anything "serious" and shrugged it off as exam stress. Fine. Maybe they were right. Maybe once my exams were over, this would all disappear. But it didn’t. It only got worse. I started avoiding social events, football with my friends, even family gatherings, anything that involved being away from a toilet for too long. My life shrank. So I went back to the GP, determined to get real answers. Their response? "You're probably stressed about your results now." At this point, I was furious. How could this still be about stress? I’d been dealing with this for over a year. My frustration must have been clear because, finally, they mentioned IBS. “If it’s not Crohn’s or Colitis,” they told me, “it’s nothing to worry about. It’s only IBS.” Only IBS? Really? A condition that’s forced me inside and to hide away from the world, is reduced to sounding like a mere inconvenience? That one sentence shaped my entire experience with this condition (and would later form the title of this community and my site: ItsOnlyIBS.com!)

Hi! Everyone, I'm Himmat, I'm struggling with IBS with more than 4 years. Currently my biggest struggle is that I'm underweight, I have very low quality inconsistent sleep cycle, and cramps and burning in stomach. I joined this community so I can educate myself and fix it because doctors and people around me wouldn't take my problem that much serious and i tried same approach but it's doesn't work.

just wanted to introduce myself. I've suffered with IBS for 1-2 years now with not much luck with my symptoms. Glad to be apart of the community, thanks for letting me in
