Like FbW I feel that IBS (in my case) is stress-related, a.o.
For me, it often results in (physically too early) bowel activity, which sometimes is a hindrance to get to my airfield in time. However, once there, for the rest of the day I will be fine. The hastened 'output' (still rather wet matter) may result in a mild body dry-out but my endurance before the next toilet visit is enhanced.
I am convinced that my plans for the next say five hours are subconsciously interpreted by an internal processor that increases bowel activity at the flip of a thought!
For some, it may be important to accept the fact of a condition like mine, and not try to fight or suppress it.
