Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: What was your worst IBS attack like?

I have a few that come to mind.
My dad wasn't diagnosed with IBS per se, all he knew is as a kid he couldn't eat chocolate, and as a kid both parents thought it was just a lot of bad luck with food poisening or the 24 hour flu.
The first really really bad one, was when we moved for the first time. I spent 13 years in the one house and didn't want to move. The stress made me soo ill with D that I was running to the bathroom damn near every hour and the worst part was, the toilet couldn't be flushed otherwise it would overflow (apparently tree roots got into the pipes but we didn't know that until we moved in) that was one of the worst nights of my life.

The second time was a couple years ago. My now fiance and I were living together in this nice townhouse and his female friend from highschool moved in with us to help us with the rent. She didn't like me much, and well.. I can have times where if another woman is all over my guy infront of me.. it causes stress.. Everytime i knew she was home I could feel my stomach drop. I was sick with D for a month straight. I couldn't even keep toast in my system. There was only 1 bathroom in the house and there is nothing worse than being horribly ill right after someone has a hot steamy shower, in the middle of a 30C heatwave, no a/c, and a really strong colonge... I thought i was going to die from the heat and the pain. To this day the smell of axe deoderant or spray makes me sick.
