how do our stomachs just KNOW when we're in a super quiet, serious, public space... and take that opportunity to make the LOUDEST. WEIRDEST. MOST HUMILIATING. NOISES. EVER ??



personally... i actually (kinda) know why this happens to me. so i'm here to talk about it, while also exposing the most embarrassing times my stomach has mortified me in public, including:

- quiet classes & lectures

- work offices

- in front of my crush

- sorority initiation



my instagram friends also shared the weirdest/worst places their stomachs have screamed bl00dy murd3r, and i am just so sorry, yet so happy, we can all commiserate on this universal experience together.

ahh, yes, Interstitial Cystitis ... another f**cking annoying chronic condition to add to the list of things i'd like to complain about on this podcast :-)



for those of you who may not know, Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is "painful bladder syndrome" .... or as i call it, IBS of the bladder.



in this episode, i'm just complaining about my current IC flare, explaining what IC is, the symptoms that can come with it, how i got diagnosed, and more. if you deal with IC too, i'm so sorry. we got TOO MUCH GOING ON DOWN THERE that it should be illegal.



also let me know if any of y'all take the neon blue poop pills. kk love you, thanks for listening, bye! xo

in a total 180 from last week - this episode is trash. and stupid. and meaningless. and i'm so sorry. lmao.



the first 7 minutes consist of me be dramatic. if you listen, hey, thanks for being a real one! if not, hey, i get it lmao. skip ahead to 7:20 for the REAL mediocre content.



thank you to everyone on instagram who submitted some "never have i ever" statements! they made me laugh, which was exactly what i needed today. i think this goes without saying -- but please don't take anything i say too literally. i'm just joshin' with y'all. if you've $h*t yourself ever, anywhere, IT HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF THE IBS BESTIES.



wishing you all a great rest of your week. and a much better day than i'm having lmao. ok love u bye xo

content warning: this episode discusses food anxiety, disordered eating, and weight loss.

i know, this topic is a heavy one... it feels uncomfortable just typing out a summary for this episode. but let's talk about it.

spoiler alert: my relationship with food... is not great. but we're working on it.

my food anxiety began when i was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome 16+ years ago. my lifelong struggle with emetophobia certainly hasn't helped, either.

but it's not just being afraid of food itself... but also the fear of my own body. and the feeling having no control of how my body will react when i eat food.

but what i've noticed through the years is that:

1. i CAN get control of my IBS symptoms

2. my food anxiety comes in waves. i'll go through periods of time where it's incredibly overwhelming (especially during/after a really bad IBS flare), and then go through periods of time where it calms down. i build confidence again. i get control again. i can enjoy meals and my favorite snacks once again. i feel free again.

if you can relate, i'm so sorry. but i promise, you are not alone. i'm right there with you. and let me reiterate: this. $h*t. comes. in. waves. there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. you are strong enough to get through this. i'm sending you all my love.


thank you so much for listening. if you have a moment, i would appreciate it so much if you would subscribe, rate & review this podcast. you can also follow & subscribe to me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠ for more (lighthearted) IBS and emetophobia content.


talk again soon. xo

hi, i'm Christine, and welcome (back) to the MyIBSLife podcast! sorry it's been awhile since my last episode - i've missed you all!


this week's episode is a real & raw stream of consciousness about how i'm currently doing with my emetophobia (spoiler alert: it's not good lol). for those of you who may not know, emetophohbia is "the extreme fear of vomiting" (or seeing others vomit). it's been a life-long struggle of mine, and i know that so many of you (unfortunately) struggle with it, too.


the winter is hard. the holidays are hard. living with this phobia while also dealing with IBS and chronic nausea everyday is hard. but we're here to talk about it and support each other through it all!


make sure to subscribe, rate & review this podcast! make sure to also follow & subscribe to me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠YouTube⁠ for more IBS and emetophobia content :-)


talk again soon! xo
