my IBS (if I have it) is also not too bad. Before I even knew of IBS, I've always had to think about what I eat---because I'm allergic to peanuts, and had an iffy stomach since I remember. My grandma always said I inherited that from her! 
So after all this time, it's really not "work" anymore to know what I can eat. For instance, certain veggies are OUT. But I can tolerate dairy. Most things I can tolerate well, if I don't overdo it. Or if I REALLY want beans, for instance, I think...what I am doing later? Just in case I will have gas!!
Sometimes I think about people with no digestive problems, and wonder what's it like to just eat whatever, but I think I eat pretty healthy as a result of all this (and have seriously upper my water intake too), so I don't really get bothered. People always used to feel sorry for me about avoiding peanuts, but I hardly expend any effort in that these days, it's like I just subconsciously deal with it.
