Posted by IBD/IBS Author

Being told that my dog probably has IBS got me thinking about foods to eat during a flare. I don't know about anybody else but when I'm flaring (10 or more D bm's/day) I find eating extremely hard.

Yesterday's debacle with the city's main sewer line being replaced has come and gone and all the plumbing is a-okay today.

Hi All,

My name is Elizabeth and I've been living with both colitis (IBD) and IBS for at least 10 years. At least that's when I received my diagnoses. I've probably been living with both of these since high school - so nearly 20 years.

I've been through the bad, the ugly, and the really ugly with these diseases. But have,...
