I've had IBS for almost 48 years now (all of my life). All through my childhood, teens and 20s I suffered from IBS-C. Then around 30 I slowly began to develop IBS-D problems. Nowadays I am predominantly IBS-D and if I didn't follow a very careful diet, I could easily alternate between C and D.
My IBS has also become much more severe over time. When I was younger, I could get away with eating almost a "normal" diet. It's true I would get terrible attacks every now and then, but not all the time.
Nowadays I wouldn't even dare look at an unsafe food. I have to be extremely careful and my diet is much more limited than when I was younger. Luckily, with all these years of IBS experience, I am pretty much a pro when it comes to knowing what I can safely have to eat and what I cannot eat so, for the most part, I lead a normal, pain-free life with only occasional bouts of D if I overeat at a meal or around my M.
