I'm glad I'm not the only one  !
For me IBS has to do with both my mind as well as what I actually eat. It's crazy but the best I felt during the last couple years was when I was fasting for a GI examination (camera pill). I was starved but my stomach was flat, no pain, no bloating, no C the day after (they don't give you any "special" fluid with the camera pill, just water). So perhaps I should go on the "no-food diet" . I might feel well but it probably wouldn't work in the long-run, lol!
But seriously, when we travel (usually for holidays and celebrations) I get sick - period. At this point I do stress about it because it's inevitable. But in the past there have been so many times when I went braced with a new, "fail-proof" diet (seemed to work at home), no matter if it was GF, Heather's, eating tons of vegs and whole grains (I've tried it all in the past), I always got sick, although I was always very good about my diet (the fact that my relatives are very supportive helps, too). And I felt betrayed, as in "this was supposed to work, what did I do wrong"? So now I worry about it, because I know I will get sick, but then all that worrying probably doesn't do any good, either.
Relaxing would probably help, I just need to learn how. I'm a pretty tense person, I appear relaxed to some people but I have lots of tension on the inside. Need to let go!
