Although it's rarely discussed, almost everyone experiences an occasional bout with abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation. When, however, these symptoms interrupt daily activities and reoccur too often, it might be a sign you're suffering from what's been called America's hidden health problem, irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS. Test yourself to see how much you know, and what you can do to feel better.

6/8....I had IBS and a hiadle hernia from age four to the age 8 1/2. It is painful and i didn't eat anything so i didn't even grow an inch in a few years. When we went into resturants I never ate and the smell of food made me sick so my mom would always have to take me to the bathroom then outside to rest. I'm so happy i don't have stomach problems no more!!
