I was diagnosed with ibs while I was in the Air Force. It didn't affect me until recently.

I got the flu and recovered. But for two weeks could not eat. And was on liquids and bland diet. I could not work out either.

I finally got better. And Christmas Day had

Soft shell crab. That was the beginning of my problem. I broke out in hives with upset stomach and diarrea. I went on BRAT. After one wk recovered. Then I ate some seaweed and got another IBS reaction. Got over that. Then had a whole grain waffle with some vegan ice cream. And IBSD is back. I can't win. Has anyone had similar

Experiences? Thanks for listening.

    Cut out the foods you are reacting to.

    You need to keep a food diary to record what you are reacting to and then you can work on avoiding trigger foods and replacing them with safe ones.
