Yep, I think this is true. Also for things like stomach flu, abdominal surgery, etc. Anything that sets you off once you already have IBS is likely to hit you harder than someone with a normal gut. But, good news is, if you're familiar with ways to manage IBS already, you'll be able to take charge and stabilize more quickly than someone who's always had a cast iron stomach and is suddenly faced with GI problems.
Always lookin' for that silver lining, I am!
