How to Make the Holidays Easier with IBS?
With the holiday season already in full swing, people who suffer from IBS can have a particularly rough time navigating this time of the year. There are many reasons for this but the one I want to focus on today is the impact IBS can have on socializing during the holidays.
Between family gatherings, holiday parties, work parties, friends and relatives coming in for the holidays, needing to prepare food and buy gifts, things can become all out of sorts. Routine has always been a crucial aspect of my life with a chronic illness. I know the sense of control is huge and necessary for me so with the holiday season there is no doubt that my routine will be thrown off in some shape or form.
