I have had IBS now for about 2 years now. I have C when I am relaxed and don't have anything to do. I only get D when I go out. I have always been an outgoing person that loved going outside. I used to hate having to stay in the house, now it seems like I hate going out because everytime I do I get D. I was never a person with a lot of stress, but the IBS stresses me out a lot. Can anyone please help me and tell me some things I should try or do. I am only 18 and I would love to get my life back. Thank You

Welcome to the boards! My best recommendation is to read through ALL of the information on the site - not the boards, but the site itself - and get copies of Heather's books if you need more detail on things (but really, the basics are all right here on the site, generously provided for free). What you'll find is a complete lifestyle to manage your IBS symptoms - diet changes to make, supplements to try, and even yoga and hypnosis to manage the stress and anxiety (both in everyday life and resulting from the IBS itself).
It sounds like a lot of reading and "changing", and honestly, it is, but after doing this for a year and really getting my life back, I can say that it's totally worth it.
