I'm not quite 40, I'm 35. I was recently diagnosed with IBS-D. I had an abnormally large amount of stress in my life last summer, which in turn led to a nervous break down in the fall. That is when my problem started. After months and months of testing, several doctors, and ruling out all other possibilities, including ovarian cancer which runs in my family, this was the diagnosis I was given. I have found in the last couple of months since being diagnosed that stress is my biggest trigger. I have a high stress job, single mom with 4 teens, it's not something I can avoid. But I have found over the years that walking really reduces my stress level. I think, at least for me, my body finally said it couldn't take any more. I've always had a high level of stress in my life and never thought twice about. My body is now rebelling.
