Wish me luck, ladies. I'm off to San Fran in a couple of days. The change of schedule, plus excitement, usually kicks off my IBS in a very big way. This time, I'm being very pedestrian in my fiber & water intake and will continue while on vacation. I also have laxatives (which I NEVER take except during emergencies like this) if I absolutely must. Oh, and did I mention I'm in my worst part of my hormonal cycle for IBS?

I will avoid cheeses, fatty foods and sweets (repeats as a mantra...)
