Hi Kat32,
I'm not a teacher, but I'm certainly a runner. Although I'm IBS-C, I use to have to go to the bathroom when I did a long run or after a run (which for IBS-C is wonderful!). I've been a runner for 10 years now and a long distance runner for two. The only thing I can tell you is that your body adjusts. Running doesn't help my IBS-C anymore because my body has adapted to it. I imagine it would be the same for IBS-D or A. Regardless, many, many runners get what they call "runner's trots" which is why the have bathrooms every one to two miles during a race.

As for diet, I generally eat a bowl of oatmeal (2 instant packets) in the morning and then a banana about 30 minutes before a run longer than 5 miles.

Just takke your time building up your mileage to let your body adapt. The training will help relieve a lot of your teacher's stress and will probably eventually help you with your IBS.
