Sister Donna Jean was my first grade teacher and boy was she mean. I had to go to the bathroom real bad and she wouldn't let me go and I ended up going in my pants! I will never forget that day. SHE'S probably the reason for my IBS!
Anyway, I ALWAYS had some kind of stomach issue growing up. Always had stomach pains. I think I missed a lot of school because of it. I wasn't actually diagnosed with IBS though until I was 21 which was 17 years ago. I'm sure I've had it all along though. Both my sister and my mom have/had it. My mom claims hers got better with menopause so there is hope for me someday
