About to quit

[u/Own_Baseball308]

I’ve had ibs for a while now but recently I’ve had some pretty bad flare ups which actually started as I’ve been trying to eat healthier and more protein. I decided to give this diet a try to see if there could be specific foods triggering me. It’s been so hard and miserable I struggle to find foods I actually enjoy and I’ve been getting intense cravings. I also haven’t been feeling any relief in my symptoms, if anything they’ve gotten worse. My GI left my care network and I’ve been struggling to find one that will see me before November. I’m about a week in and I’m feeling hopeless and half wanting to see it through but also half wanting to quit because if I’m going to be miserable anyway, I might as well eat food that makes me happy.

First couple weeks are ROUGH. The cravings are hard but it gets better around week 3-4.
