as someone who has dealt with IBS for some time, what can you recommend to someone who is very young, possibly just beginning the journey of life into the "real world"?

my names ashley. ive had IBS with constipation since i was 16. this past year became my 4th year battling it, which makes me 20. im about to go back to college again in the springtime. and i have alot of ideas in mind as far as the rest of my life goes. but i notice when i get into a time-crunching schedule, im unable to tend to the comfort of maintaining my stability.

i just returned from a month-long european vacation and am still on a "leave of absense" with my job. i still have about a week of free time to myself before i have to return and in my "free time" i seem to have been very responsive to my constipation problems. im worried that when i return back to work, i may not be able to keep up the same schedule. ive been able to relax and wake up at my own pace which has naturally set me back on a normal sleeping schedule, which i now see is very important.

what types of tricks did you use for managing your own stability? were you often stable/unstable? i had been pretty unstable for awhile, and went thru some eating struggles, and then i changed my whole diet around and became a strict-vegan [ie: no animal-by-products; no presservatives] so you see ive already got to be careful with my nutrition since i lost vitamins in food sources i used to eat. with the IBS though, i feel i need to be extra-careful. any advice you can offer would be wonderful to me. im sorry that you had to go thru so much with all of your struggles. but if youre alright [esp after 9] then that is very good thanks in advance--peace
