Do you know about IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)?

Yes my doctor has told me I have IBS triggered by anxiety but that was the extent of the conversation. All I know is that I have it but have no clue how to deal with it. I'm cautious of what I eat and avoid foods that upset my stomach but when I'm nervous it doesn't matter what I've had to eat, my body still begins to flush itself out. It's tough because I can't really face my problems while confined to the bathroom
