I was diagnosed with IBS 26 years ago. Since then, this misunderstood and all encompassing illness has been my constant companion.

Over these many years, I have tried different Fodmaps, Keto, elimination diets, and several medications and everything I could think of to mitigate my symptoms, to no avail. It is always with me.

I have finally gotten to the point of just letting it be. I deal with it as best I can, while I try to live my to the fullest that I can.

In sharing my story, I hope that I can help others to navigate this life, with grace and grit.
