Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | I survived vacation with no problem

Hello all I just wanted to pass along the good news that I survived my vacation with no problems. I had a stomach ache on Monday but that was due more to nerves and stress since I was anxious about getting on the ship and had no idea what to expect. I did watch what I ate choosing pretty good choices. The only slipup I had was Friday when I ate a grilled Reuben, fries, and then a piece of cheesecake. Later got a slice of pizza and then Friday night my stomach starting the gurgling and a little pain and sure enough a few hours later D. But it ran it's course pretty fast. I had a prescription for Librax from my doctor but never took a single pill.
Actually, since being home and back at work and embroiled in family crisis every day my stomach is hurting today fairly severely. I have come to realize that a lot of my problem is the stress. I also relaxed my eating and having been drinking Coke and eating cheese (which I loved but pretty much stayed away from before) so I know that I have contributed to the problem. Thinking about doing the BTC diet if the problems do not resolve itself in the next few days.
Just wanted to pass along the good news that we can live a normal life with IBS, although I made sure I knew where the bathrooms were and foods choices were carefully made.
