IBS Can’t Stop Me! Does Irritable Bowel Syndrome Control Your Life?

Being an active person is second nature to me.  I’m always on the go.  Have a million projects.  Am always on an adventure.  I love life.  Wanting to be able to take day-trips all the time got interrupted by Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).  I’d often have stomach aches, cramping and my bowel movements were unpredictable.  This made it hard to be gone all day in a ‘Let’s play it by ear and see where we end up’ mentality.  I’ve noticed changing some things have helped my IBS.   Everyone is different.  Bringing awareness to IBS is important since so many people have never known they have something it is recognizable, sometimes treatable.  There are diet and lifestyle changes that can help too.
