Is it IBS or is it something else entirely
Author: Scott BestSome times
when attempting to talk about or deal with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
one has to take pause and consider whether what one has to say is
relevant or helpful in any way. It’s so easy to get caught up in the
personal experience of what IBS brings to life that making a point
rather than telling the personal side of the story gets lost, or at
least seems to.
And as I pondered this thought something inside assured me that even just
telling the story sometimes is relevant, sometimes just sharing the personal
experience is important. It’s important for so many reasons that to not tell the
story might be worse than not trying to help at all.
Every day I come across more and more people who like me, have suffered for
so many years in obscurity or ridiculed silence, that for me at least it’s
important to tell the story, to share the experiences, to let those that suffer
know they are not alone in their struggle.
It just might be that by telling the story from enough different
perspectives, after digesting enough information from enough sources there might
be a revelation of sorts, the moment when we connect the dots from enough
experiences that a cure or causation might be found.
In my last article I addressed the issue of the proper diagnosis
for IBS, and again, I am dealing with this issue. It has been many
months now since I spoke of the issue with my gallbladder that went
acute and needed to be removed.
