Is remission of IBS permenant?

The answer to that question is very complicated because there are a lot of variables involved.

I think that a lot of people can be in remission from flare ups with their IBS for years.
Flare ups can still occur if there is stress or if one eats the wrong foods again or the body decides it's going to be allergic to something different then what was already on your food allergy list.

Other factors like hormone imbalance can sometimes bring on flare ups as well.

The point is to learn to enjoy where you are at in the moment that you have it. Whether it's a good day or a bad day. Even if the flare ups are bad it will still help to see it as a blessing to make it through the day.

On my bad days I forgive myself for not being able to do everything and just know that I it alright.
Because it is alright to rest and recoup.

  1. To add to that, most people are so frustrated to reduce weight that they tried all those kinds of medical weight loss available in the market. Wrong diet and incorrect usage of medicine can also add to the problem above. I hope this little information helps.

  2. What I was talking about was that food allergies can create inflammation in the gut and that people don't realize that they are allergic to certain foods. They wonder why they have good days and bad days with their IBS. Weight loss is a separate issue from just trying to maintain ones health and not knowing if from day to day if a person feels well enough to just eat. Most of the time IBS people aren't focused on weight loss.
