I am also an IBS sufferer. I agree, it's awful and does cause problems on the job as well as socially and publicly. I can't seem to get the diet right and have the fewest problems from food described as "junk". Still, I try to eat healthfully and sometimes pay a big price for it. I've had to give up a lot of my favorite foods. I walk around with Bean-ease, Gas-X, lactose intolerance pills and fresh wipes in my briefcase. Eat the plainest diet you can - white rice, boiled potatoes and boiled or baked chicken, eggs, string beans and drink plenty of water. Eat plain Greek yogurt (Fage is best.). I wear a little cologne in case there is odor. I wish you well.
