Thanks for the info, Doug. I just noticed you're from Scotland! My brother lives in Dundee!
I was also a high school teacher. I know how terrible it was to have IBS and be a teacher. I taught grades 7 8 and 9 - if you left the classroom you were DEAD! Fortunately, most classes behaved really well for me, and I had fellow teachers I could bellow to on my way downstairs to the bathroom so they could watch my class for a couple of minutes. I used to eat nothing but rice until after 4 pm. So sad, huh?
