This is a kind of IBS Diary on behalf of my mum, whom I look after, who has suffered with this terrible affliction for over 7 years now. In truth, she has never been 'diagnosed' with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) as such, but the symptoms will be recognisable to many who have been I'm sure. It is my intention to record daily life, the treatments we sometime try, the help we do (and don't get) and to show any useful information that may help other people in the same position.
I would also really appreciate feedback from others on any aspect of this blog as well as questions or suggestions from those out there who know what it's like to live with this condition. Any professional medical people out there? I would love to hear from you too on how you see this condition and those who suffer with it...
Please also be aware i am not a Doctor or medical professional and if you have a medical problem or need treatment then seek a professionals advice (if you think they can help). What is contained on this blog is just my own experience in dealing with my mums health problems and is not medical advice to follow. Please use your own judgement.
Any website i link to or mention is not a recommendation or endorsement for that site but merely one of many that i may visit. I have not checked the authenticity or professionalism of any external web site.

Im so sorry that your mum suffers ill health. I am even more sorry that it is probably as a result of treatment for a potentially fatal disease that ironically your mum survived.
The inappropriate treatment and management of your mother's original illness is incomprehensible and the lack of compassion and explanation unforgiveable.
That which angers us and begs forgiveness from us, consumes us .....no one else. You are a carer and have been for 7 years. Thank goodness for you. Yet therein lies a danger of compromise of your own mental and physical well being. You have sacrificed your own life and love to be there for your mum. That is honourable and rare. Which is who you are.
