Loc: Ewing, NJ, USA (IBS-D, Vegetarian)
I was diagnosed my sophomore year of college, but I've had IBS since my senior year of high school. Luckily I lived in a suite my freshmen year, instead of the normal dorms, but with the dining hall and not really knowing anything about diet (other than I wasn't eating meat or anything whole wheat), things were pretty bad for me my freshmen year as well. No meds for me, the docs can't find one that either (a) works or (b) I don't have nasty side effects to. But I'm much better now, I follow Heather's diet and my big thing is making sure I get enough sleep.
