Hi Honeypie

Just wanted to say that I am like you when I am in the midst of an IBS attack - the pain can go on and on but I do get some relief after each time I have "been" to the loo.

I think that if you have problems with eating regularly it can be more painful - I know for sure that if I forget to eat during the day and then sit down to my evening meal, I can pretty much guarantee an angry flare up within hours

The good news is (putting a positive spin on all of this) that there are so many of us with the same symptoms is that we can't all be suffering from something "worse" than IBS
