Let me ask you something. What do Tyra Banks, Camille
Grammer and Cybil Sheppard all have in common? They all suffer from irritable
bowel syndrome – along with about 20% of the rest of the population, according
to recent studies.
Having irritable bowel syndrome
doesn't have to be a death sentence. There are ways not only to cope but to
thrive and live a happy, healthy life. Yes, I know, it can be a bit
embarrassing at times – always searching for the nearest bathroom whenever you
go out, getting up in the middle of movies and only eating certain foods.
The IBS Diva doesn't let that get in the way of her good
time, though. And you shouldn't let get in the way of yours, either.
Here are the IBS Diva’s three simple pieces of advice for coping with irritable bowel syndrome.
1. You’re still fabulous, honey. Act like it. Change your mind
set about this functional disorder. You’re not an outcast. You’re a tough,
no-nonsense leader. Believe it.
2. Don’t stress – just rest. Just like the IBS Diva, you
need your beauty sleep. Make sure you get at least eight hours per night. Let
your body rejuvenate and heal during the night. Then you can wake up fabulous
like the IBS Diva.
3. Keep searching. Even the IBS Diva searches for solutions
for irritable bowel syndrome. Let’s face it. Having this disorder is no walk in
the park. But there are ways to cope and live a happy, healthy life. Search for
them while you’re on your journey to self acceptance. It can only help.
Honey, you have to look at irritable bowel syndrome as a
challenge that you must overcome, not as a death sentence. With the proper mind
set and a willingness to try new and effective dietary changes and medical
solutions, you can live a healthy and happy life with IBS.
