Hello everyone,
I can't believe I haven't stumbled across this board before now (I only found it because I was looking for peppermint oil). Anyhow, I've had IBS for about 4 years. I'm not going to go into how it changed my life, because I'm sure everyone experienced the same thing. But, I will say that although it's not fun having this, I think it did help me get my priorities straight and make me a more compassionate person.
On that note, I quit my engineering job (very stressful) and now I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I have considered the Peace Corps, but right now I'm focusing on teaching English abroad (shorter commitment). Anywhere from Russia, to China, to Chile, to Thailand. The options are pretty limitless. But, I wanted to ask your opinion on how difficult it would be to control IBS dealing with a new variety of food and stresses. The funny thing is that I never really wanted to travel until I got IBS! 
I do have my sypmtoms relatively under control. But then again, I'm not working right now, so there isn't much stress.
