How do you manage daily life with IBS-D?

I have also had IBS-D for forty years. Many endoscopies and colonoscopies later all clear except hiatal hernia, and inflamation. I went gluten free almost 15 years ago and it has helped but not taken it away. It could be wheat and not gluten but no way to know. I am immune deficient and for a lot of us the trouble is in our GI tract. Since about 80 percent of our immune system is in our gut. The well known IBS doctor, Mark Pimental, at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles believes that people with IBS-D at one time had food poisoning. Which I have had.

@pragna54, I am glad to see you comment and beginning to share on Connect. 40 years is a long time to deal with IBS-D.

Have you learned any tricks that help, at least at times? Maybe things that don’t work?

@jlharsh
First I started noticing what I ate and if I got more sick than usual-
I stop eating milk and milk products. Start reading every label to see there is not any trace of milk. Only one I found is sourdough bread which works for me. Second I stop eating anything raw including vegetables.

@katydurgin maybe you need to talk to your oncologist

@cjval52 can I ask why you suggest that? Remind me what an oncologist does?
