MY STORY

Life with IBS isn't always easy — but it doesn't have to stop you living.

Welcome to IBS Girl! I started this blog to share my own experience of living with IBS and becoming gluten free.

From working out what foods my tummy will tolerate, to packing my breakfast and lunch for work, cooking gluten-free meals, eating out and going on holiday, I'm learning as I go.

This is a place for honest stories, practical ideas and recipes that have helped me along the way.
