IBS - Need some advice.
For the last 23 years, I have suffered with IBS-D. It has steadily got worse over time, especially after having my gall-bladder removed 7 years ago.
I'm fairly new as cabin crew, but since having started the job, my IBS has become much worse. I've sought advise from my GP, but as usual, I get the same response. "There's nothing we can do, you're just going to have to live with it".
I have my suspicions that I may be suffering from the effects of excess bile salts, but that's another story.
Anyway, are there any other cabin crew out there who experience IBS? Any tips on how to reduce the likelihood of symptoms, or how to cope with it when you 'need to go' in the air?
Many thanks!
