Hi everyone,

Am 25years old and i have IBS for almost 2 years. Also i suffer from anxiety which makes my ibs a lot worse. i have lost a lot of weight cause whatever i eat it ends up pretty bad in the toilet. I cannot have social life cause am afraid to go out and what if i need a toilet. i csnt even spend quality time with my boyfriend. I have missed a lot of days at work because of that. On september am gonna start psycotherapy but...how do u live with this? what can i do about food about having social life without being afraid. i cant stp crying. the first year i thought that i had food allergy so i didnt search for it but september 2014 i searched for it with ym doc. i did colonoscopy and other stuff but he didnt find anything. now am taking lybrax which have big side effects so i take one every night but still not enough. i dont know what to do anymore.

    Digestive enzymes and probiotics are supposed to help a lot with digestive issues. Both me and my sister have IBS and hers was always worse then mine. She takes digestive enzymes and they helped her a lot. She has stated that she has no idea what she would have done without them.
