If there is anyway I can help you with the blog / twitter / FB (bloggers unite), please don't hesitate to ask - I don't really have specific ideas, but I'm willing to try?

Your blog is fabulous but it should be a way of venting or writing the things you need to write, it shouldn't be a pressure that you somehow have to keep up with. I'll let you in on a little secret, I love your blog and I also don't read it every day because I don't have time around my little monkey. It's ok to give yourself a break. Like Christina says, I've also found that caffeine irritates me. I've never actually be diagnosed with IBS but with very similar symptoms, I just assume I'm prone to it as I've got friends with it. When I drink decaf coffee I'm fine, too much caffeine rich coffee (as I love) and I'm not. Strangely normal tea doesn't bother me but I guess everyone is different. All I'm saying is give yourself a break honey!charlotte.cheshirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098377761995034171.post-85912442118169366652012-08-16T14:24:35.642+01:002012-08-16T14:24:35.642+01:00Good on you duckie! :D Less stress and pressure on...Good on you duckie! :D Less stress and pressure on yourself is vital in managing IBS. I always had a mild form of it when I was 'proper' teaching - maybe how I stayed so skinny - along with all the running around and barely having time to eat. <br /><br />My husband suffers quite badly with it (he would be mortified me telling you). The more stressful his day or the more work he knows he has to do before setting off, the worse it is. You'll have to let us know how the peppermint capsules go - might be something he can try.<br /><br /><br />Caffeine can also aggravate it - hubby has switched to fruit tea during the day, which seems to make it a little better.Christina Ehttp://twitter.com/Beadzoidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098377761995034171.post-13916525667340599632012-08-16T09:52:15.890+01:002012-08-16T09:52:15.890+01:00Since having my monkey, I have developed IBS.

My mum and sister have IBS more chronically than I do, and have become expert ingredient-readers and over the years, realised their own red flags and avoid them like the plague! My sister eats small portions little and often so she doesn't get too full which helps her, and rests a lot when convenient. I imagine it is all overwhelming, sometimes it just takes one thing to send you (or Joseph!) over the edge. Definitely set aside Kylie time; it is so important to look after yourself above all. Also take up any offers that anyone makes to make anything that tiny bit easier! xxmousehttp://nearlyeverythingbut.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098377761995034171.post-90709615354137209232012-08-16T08:32:43.165+01:002012-08-16T08:32:43.165+01:00start learning to say 'no'. :-)start learning to say 'no'. :-)Lisa Stellhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1366383586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098377761995034171.post-20771865267954913222012-08-16T08:07:15.717+01:002012-08-16T08:07:15.717+01:00Oh lovely lady, you're so wonderful to everyon...Oh lovely lady, you're so wonderful to everyone else, so many people feel supported and encouraged by you, it's time to put you first for a while. <br /><br /><br />IBS comes and goes in my experience, what I mean by that is it probably won't feel as ongoing as asthma and hypertension. It'll likely only be an issue when something makes it flare up, such as your stressful holiday. So when life is ticking over nicely it's likely that it won't bother you at all. A friend of mine once had IBS symptoms for 6 months following her mother's admission to hospital and then never had trouble with it again since. The peppermint is weird though, your breath will smell of it, as will your sweat! But hey there are worse things to smell of!<br />Your blog is brilliant and has a great reputation, no one will mind if you don't post everyday, we'll just enjoy it when you do. <br />Hope you get to find some space to take deep breaths and put your feet up, maybe when it's not raining you should sit in the garden and drink tea (peppermint of course)<br />Lots of love to you HxxxHannah Baileynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098377761995034171.post-46945469790077118782012-08-16T07:38:12.246+01:002012-08-16T07:38:12.246+01:00I find my ibs is hormone driven.

I always get attacks around my period too. Another friend has managed hers by trying different oral contraceptives and manages it with this and diet.
