What do you do for fun?

Draw, Paint, play guitar... have been forced to become a health freak just to stay in control of my symptoms best i can...i guess that wouldn't be considered "fun"

How long have you lived with IBS?

Since i was like 14 or 15... my grandpa passed away, i flew to colorado for the funeral and was sick the entire week. After that it's been off and on for years, i can usually trace my attacks to what i've eaten although sometimes its stress enduced...those are harder to cope with...

When did you realize you had IBS?

about 5 years ago i guess

Most embarassing IBS moment:

everyday?, just kidding not really, it comes and goes, usually it's my fault for having weak will power sometimes...

How do you do treat your IBS?

eat right and exercise also take things like pepto or bentyl when needed... I've pretty much given up all foods i use to love, well i still do, but they're not worth the discomfort...now i pretty much eat the same things everyday, they're healthy things but they can get old...now my main attacks are usually stress enduced... I'm determined to control this...
