Hi,I'm fairly new to the board and I've had IBS for about two years - I'm 24 by the way. I just wanted to remark that IBS gets everyone differently. Some people on this board have very very severe problems and some "lucky" ones, like me, have a more mild kind.My IBS seems to be a similar kind to your son's. I get stressed (if I have to go to the city for example) then once I relax and have a meal (I never feel like eating when I am out on business) I get bad cramps and gas, which always culminates in a swift visit to the bathroom with D, after which I am usually fine apart from feeling a little bit like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards!Everyone's different though, which is why you won't see a "typical" posting on here, just lots of different probs.I'm really bad about moderating my diet too - just can't resist my favourite foods!Good luck with it all
