I just found this site and decided to join. I'm 60 and have had bouts of IBS all my life. My mother called it a "nervous stomach". My symptoms were lite most of my life and I was able to live with it without too many problems, but lately they've gotten worse. Mine is mostly severe abdominal pain with bloating and constipation. I just sent off for some dietary aids that I hope will help, namely peppermint oil capsules to help with the bloating and pain. I hope that controlling my diet and exercising might help with all this. This is one group I'd rather not be a part of but we all have to live with what life gives us and make the best of it.
