I have a friend who is 31 years old and has the worst irritable bowel syndrome. She cannot go in a car longer than about 30 minutes without having to (well you know what).
Does anyone have any suggestions on what she can do? I am not well versed in the subject.
Thanks.

Top One Stupid Thing Said to IBS Sufferers by other IBS sufferers, and the Reason Why It's So Dumb
By sophie on July 16, 2008
OK, so that title's not gonna win me any headline-writing competitions, but those of you who have read my Top 10 Stupid Things Said to IBS Sufferers may have got the reference.
This post is about the one stupid thing that we as IBS sufferers say to each other. I could only think of one as opposed to 10 because we IBS people are obviously more intelligent than that other lot. So - onto the stupid. And the stupid goes something like this...

My poor girlfriend. She falls and breaks her hip in the middle of the night. Then has to have two surgeries to fix her hip. Has been confined to her bed and now has developed IBS because of all the anti-biodics she's had to take.
She was very proactive and got on a probiodic to help regain the good bacteria in the bowel. Which is something I learned a long time ago, when my husband got a staph infection in his spine and was on heavy doses of a very strong antibiodic.

I really believe that women tend to go to a certain state of mind when they're patients and relying on a doctor's care. It's called "helpless patient mode." Ironically, when we have a sick child, spouse or other loved one, we can be a doctor's biggest nightmare. We're brilliant and strong when advocating for a loved one. A mother will do an inordinate amount of research and will carefully question the pediatrician when her child is ill. But when she is ill, it’s another story altogether. Women tend to do what their doctors tell them to do. We don't listen to ourselves, to our guts.

SATURDAY, Feb. 16 (HealthDay News) -- There may be a link between allergies and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in adults, says a study by researchers at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
IBS occurs in about 15 percent of the U.S. population. Some studies have suggested that allergen exposure may lead to IBS symptoms in some patients, but the frequency hadn't been examined.
