I have just had a similar thing happen to me. What I have been doing is taking Imodium in the morning which usually helps me through the day. I eat light food such as apple sauce, white rice and light sandwiches. I am also starting to read the book called Full Catastrophy Living. I think someone else on this site recommended. I just started it but the information seems really useful. Its great that you told them about your IBS! The first week or so might be hard but once your body is more use to a routine it may adapt to it more than you think. Good Luck!
