Hey all,
I have a question about IBS. I'm in college and have wanted to be a guard pilot for awhile now. About a year ago my IBS got really bad, to the point where I was having 1-2 splitting stomach aches per week. I went to some doctors, seriously cleaned up my diet, and started taking a probiotic. Fortunately, I've been doing really well lately and have had ZERO symptoms in 3 and a half months.
As I understand it, IBS is disqualifying but waiverable. The definition of IBS is 3 or more stomach aches per month. Since I haven't had a stomach ache in over 3 and a half months, I fall outside the diagnosis. However, IBS is on my medical record and I was prescribed medication for it last year. I haven't taken any of it in months. Is there anything I can do now to increase the chances it will be waived?
Thanks for the help.
