I'm not 16 anymore

You may recall the two accidents I had last year . . . err, trying to pass wing but it was'nt . . . as Azz said at the time it could be something other than an accidet.

Well it was . . it was IBS . . . I did a bit of research and would you believe 60% of the adult poulation in the USA have this problem . . buy all accounts it's caused mainly by stress, it can be controlled by avoiding ceretain things in your diet eg; tomatoes, seedy fruits like strawberries etc, . . but not all idividuals are the same . . it's a case of trial and error 'till you know what to avoid and during the trail period make shure you have a large stock of toilet paper.

I'm fine now but I love the things to avoid like Tomatoes for instance . . . does anyone have a large rubber bung and a mallet.

Re: I'm not 16 anymore

Sorry to hear it turned out to be IBS, Denis .....I do recall you mentioning that incident last year

My OH experienced similar but his was diagnosed as Diverticulitis ...... now he too has to avoid tomatoes and seeded foods. He has started to eat tomatoes again but he takes all the seeds out first.

I hope you are managing to cope with it ok now.

Sorry to read about your problem Nero I believe it can be a very distressing condition so if stress is the possible cause then it must be a vicious circle.
