I recently recorded this podcast interview for Living With with IrritableBowelSyndrome.net advocate, Hess Polanco. We talked about the stigma of IBS, why it's important to speak about the condition, as well as how IBS affects him on a daily basis. Hess shared how IBS has made him more resilient and gives advice on how to stop apologizing for your condition.
