I enjoy being a Food Examiner because I love researching restaurants-and of course visiting them too! Watching cooking shows and learning new recipes is another love of mine. Even though some food can irritate my digestive system-I do enjoy writing about it still!... Examiner has allowed me to "examine" food more closely and share it with my readers!

Dealing with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

Those who know me closely, understand that I've been dealing with digestive issues for quite some time. It probably didn't totally hit me until I was in my early 20's-I noticed it more after my daughter was born.

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) can be a real pain and turn a good day-into a really sour one. For those who don't know, Irritable Bowel Syndrome has been described as, "a common disorder that affects your large intestine (colon). Irritable bowel syndrome commonly causes cramping, abdominal pain, bloating gas, diarrhea and constipation. "(Mayo Clinic website).

After bouts of pain and too many trips to the bathroom, I was finally diagnosed maybe three or four years ago, althought I suffered plenty of time before that.

Since April is "IBS" month, I did a write up at Yahoo! to inform others about my life with IBS in hopes that maybe my experiences could help someone else....
