Frustrated

I am 70 years old and have had IBS D since I was 16. Tried everything to manage this condition but it always wins. Right now I am trying to follow the low FODMAPs diet having slight relief some days. IBS really is in charge of my life.

It's great to hear that you're starting to follow the low-FODMAP diet. Many folks have found this diet helpful.
