So for the longest time I've thought I had mild IBS, more so travelers being that nearly every time I'd get ready to go somewhere I'd get the urge to "go". Then while on long trips I'd get anxious also.

When I first joined this forum I was getting ready to leave for Air Force basic training. I was so worried that I would be rushing everywhere and not have the chance to use the restroom when I needed to. Amazingly not only me but it seems to be a trend that for the first week or two NO ONE has a bowel movement lol. Eventually it happened and I discovered it wasn't a problem if we needed to go, or more like it never was an issue.

Now looking back 2 years after that experience I've felt better about my situation. I put myself more on a schedule and it is more controllable. What mainly got me thinking about this forum again was this week i was on leave and planning on going snowboarding for the first time. One day I caught the flu from my daughter. Got one day of snowboarding in. The last 2.5 days I had the worse bout of Diarrhea that I've had in years. I guess it just puts me back in perspective.
