YMMV = your mileage may vary

I'm sorry to hear about your IBS-D being so bad. That is the pits. Yes, stress

is a huge trigger for the IBS. You are probably a big bundle of nerves over

your finances and future, so your colon reacts accordingly.

I hope you get some answers and stress relief soon. Take care.

Hi Jeanne,

First I'll show my ignorance. What is YMMV?

I have been having a bad flare with my IBS and the big D for a longer period

than usual for me. It is really limiting my leaving the house and I don't leave

much anyway.

I stay away from lactose and roughage like I have for years. I stay away

from junk food and fast food. But it's gotten where I can't eat unless I'm

home. I mean eat almost anything.

I'm under a lot of stress with money problems in addition to health issues.

I can't remember if it's still believed that stress is a trigger for IBS or not.

Is it?
