I have IBS the 10 days surrounding my period. I have learned thru trial and error what works and what doesn't. Drink lots of water. Take fiber supplements. Limit or stay away from certain foods. EXERCISE

I feel bad sometimes as I have to use the bathroom 3 times in the a.m. when I wake up, yet once I'm 'done', I'm fine the rest of the day.

I'm sorry you all have this problem and glad, cuz now I know I'm not the only one. My suggestion to anyone is a food/lifestyle diary. Find your triggers then correct them.
