IBS is a most unpleasant condition. I've had it for many years and spend much of my time making sure I know where the nearest toilet is. Fortunately after having it for so long I've learned what I can and can't eat - and that everyone is different. I don't eat if I'm going to the theatre for example and I'm very careful about choosing what's on a menu. I carry a small bag in my handbag which contains medication, wipes, pads etc. I've got into a routine over the years and have stuck with it though I've had the occasional upset even now . The IBS Network is a very helpful resource. Overall I think I've learned about what foods do or don't suit me and anything new I try out when I'm safely at home.
