How do you manage daily life with IBS-D?

I have had IBS-D for over 40 years and for me any beans are the worse thing I can eat. I have also been gluten free for 14 years and that has helped a lot. I am going to be 84 next month and I have just discovered that if I take a Beano before any meal I am not running to the bathroom. In fact it has made me a little constipated. I used to take one before a meal heavy in fiber but now I take it before anything I eat. IBS effects everyone differently you just have to see what works for you.

I have been followed for IBS-D for 3+ years. Read in a health watch magazine exercises for pelvic floor & core areas helps those with urinary incontinence, which I do not have. Have exercises helped those with IBS-D?

Good morning from Western Canada Gussie, in response to your comment, nope, beans don't seem to bother me at all. I make lots of Middle Eastern bean dips, which have more flavour than our Western diet. I have to keep up my fiber because of diabetes as well,l and hardly any medication to manage diabetes. I had severe reactions to Metformin, Ozempic, and anything along those lines so those meds were discontinued. A high fiber diet seems to help manage my weight, as well as cut out diarrhea totally now. I don't suffer from nausea anymore after 30-something years of diarrhea, nausea, diapers, and Immodium. It was quite the expense. Thanks for your input. Stay safe down there!!
