| Re: Average age and symptoms
Age wise, I think it can come on you anytime. I had a cousin that had it as a little girl, mine came on in my mid 20's and my daughter has a friend who came down with it in her mid 40's.
If salads do this to you, or you suspect that is what is going it, keep a food journel. I never suspected food or I would have kept one. I realized later that it took the offending food 3 days to react to my system and cause me a problem. After they told me what it was, they told me to avoid any and all roughage so I did. When the doctor released me from under his care, I thought that meant I was cured. In those days it was called "cololitis" (35+ years ago) and little was known about it. I stayed on that blan diet for a long time and only recenly have I been able to eat what I want again. Somewhere along the line, they chanaged it to IBS.
