I’m so glad that I didn’t live during the time when IBS was thought to be simply caused by stress. It would have been terrible to go to a doctor and be told that all of my intense pain was in my head and there was nothing they could do about it. Luckily, modern doctors understand a lot more About Irritable Bowel Syndrome than they did back then and are therefore able to treat it much more effectively. When I was diagnosed with the disorder, I was put on therapy that combined medication and diet changes. I will never be free of the disease, but it is now manageable.
