Yep, honey, I know your pain too. It is worse than childbirth sometimes, and people just don't get that and just don't care, unfortunately. They'd change their tune pretty fast if they had to cope with it.
I have IBS-C which switches to IBS-D under major stress. i find if I keep my stress levels nice and low and avoid dairy pretty well, and also avoid wheat, I'm golden. My pain levels compared to this time last year are incredibly less. I still get cramps here and there, feeling the food move through the tubes, but it's usually only a few mins. before I go #2 and then I'm fine.
Probiotics helped me out a ton. So did following the diet, though I don't always stick to it-only when I feel a big episode come on and it lasts a few days.
Take care, eh! Where ya from in Canada?? I'm a proud Canuck too.
