RE: Let's talk Shit! IBD Awareness Month
Endoscopy, yes they are not comfortable at all. Food intolerances would be considered IBS, which are not fun but can most of the time be settled with changes in diet, like you or stress factors are another key player for many suffering IBS, but in saying that I think that stress plays a lot in flare-ups of IBD. I am super glad that you got yours sorted with not to many issues. Thanks for stopping by :)
Actually you're right to point out that it was IBS, not IBD that I had, though the doctors told me that there was inflammation in my bowel, and I was prescribed drugs for life (which I never took). At the time (late 90s) I couldn't even discuss food intolerances with my doctor, as she thought that was all hocus pocus!
Yeah back in the day it would have been very hard to distinguish between the two.
