When I was eight my parents got divorced and this gave me a lot of stress. That is when I got IBS . This was one of the symptoms of IBS . After a few years going to the hospital and the clinic nothing work . But now that I am forteen. I found out a few tricks. When you think that you are having an attack take an Imodium mediately. If you do not have Imodium take deep breath and try to fall asleep this will take away the pain. Then take a warm shower and a bath and go straight to bed.
