The Story of... Faye, age 14

I am faye, I have been diagnosed with IBS since I was 4, I am now 14. For 10 years I have been in excruciating pain from IBS, as I have severe IBS. I suffer from constipation. I have had many black outs, lumps appearing on my stomach from the strain etc.... and finally people have realised that I am not attention seeking, I actually have something wrong. For many years I have had ups and downs but I have lived through them. For all of the people suffering from either minor or severe, trust me, take it from me when you are depressed from it or during the stage of it, don't panic because I have lived through it all and there is always hope, yes you live with it all your life but you learn to cope.
