I have been having IBS symptoms for a while now and was having really bad abdominal pain . Went to the Doctor who has put me on colofac ( mebeverine ). This morning I woke to have the very bad D, I ate pasta and a pepper sause last night and guess that is what the problem is. While I understand I have IBS I can't help but get so stressed out with it. I am 33 and a single parent to 2 great kids. Today I just don't want to leave the house and I just hate feeling like this. Any advice on how to cope and not allow this to control my every waking moment would be most welcome but either way I am glad I have found this site.Bruce
