Ibs

IBD sufferer here of 5 years, Glasto veteran of the same. I find that the adrenaline, distraction and deterrent of the loos is enough to keep you from going. Everyone is different though, if you have known triggers - avoid them, if you are seriously worried about alcohol inflaming it, don't drink as much. In terms of food, the Growler will bung anyone up for most of the weekend in all it's beige glory (a chip and cheese baguette no doctor would ever recommend) (the tmi section: I had an infection on top of the ibd one year and it still didn't cause a major problem - if I can do it, you can do it).

The other thing to bear in mind is that the toilets are vastly improved, especially as of 2013 with the new long drops replacing many of the portaloos. I'm fairly certain they have improved the cleaning rota's too, they were great and I don't normally like them. Just don't camp next to them and if you are worried about performances there are plenty of places to stand with easy access to the loos (and bars), within earshot and out of smell range

There is also a thing widely used at Glastonbury near a circular arrangement of stones and elsewhere that has been medically proven to help ibs and ibd but not necessarily approved (yet). I'll leave you to work that one out.

Happy camping, and don't worry!

Goodness, I go away for a few months and I come back to a discussion about IBS. I would say this place has changed but the Led Zep, Prince, Radiohead rumour mill is still going so it hasn't really. Shall we start a rumour of a Rolling Stones sequel for old time's sake? Or seeing as there is a vacancy on the endlessly repeated rumour mill shall we fill it with Pink Floyd? :P
