Sophie’s Story chronicles my entire IBS experience, from horrific food poisoning at the age of 12 through to my recent years of good health. It describes the long years of battling with the symptoms of intense pain, diarrhea, bloating and constipation that we all know so well.
It also describes the many doctors who were dismissive and patronizing, and the battle all IBS sufferers fight against people who believe that IBS is “all in your head” or a mild problem that causes a bit of a stomachache and nothing more.
