True story. I have IBS and it sucks.

Well, you are in good company. The lead guitarist of Pearl Jam and yours truly share the malady.
I am curious that you posted it here, as it is a subject best dealt with by mature people, and you're not going to find a lot of them on this board.
The real problem comes not from IBS itself, but from its effect on other agues. For example, I had an old friend from college who had cancer. Combine that with IBS, and you've got little resistence for fighting off other ailments. I had another friend who lost her mother to IBS in and of itself. Listen to your doctors, try not to let it get out of hand. Last thing you need is for the doctor to cut out your asshole when you turn 50 and give you a bag to poop in.
