Congratulations on your new job! I'm not in the medical profession, but, in general, I would just recommend that you eat super-safe foods the first few weeks and pack your little emergency kit (for me, it's Imodium, bottled water, Phazyme - and my Rx anti-spasmodic). (BTW, when I know I'm going to be under extra stress, I make sure I take my Rx as directed - 4x a day - to prevent an attack if possible). Get plenty of rest, try to reduce other stressors as much as possible, and just don't "anticipate" the problem too much. If you get an attack, it's no different than if you caught a tummy "bug" - I wouldn't elaborate too much about the IBS if anything occurs - because it might not happen more than once. Hopefully, you'll have understanding co-workers and supervisors - and you'll just enjoy your new venture!
Blessings, Kaybee C
