IBS Unfiltered

Hi friends, A year ago, my IBS took over my life. I went from eating anything I wanted to fearing every meal. Some days I was fine, others I’d be bloated and in pain for hours. For months, my “safe” foods were plain rice, oatmeal, and eggs. I cried in the grocery store more than once, just missing the freedom of eating without worry. I still have tough days, but I’ve stopped blaming myself for every flare. IBS isn’t just about digestion — it affects your mood, energy, and confidence. To anyone struggling right now: take it one meal at a time. You’re not alone, and your body will find its balance again.
