Georgina Croke was aged 21 and attending Waterford Institute of Technology when she first experienced symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
The now 48-year-old accountant and mother of one, who comes from Waterford City, was preparing for an exam, and found herself running to the toilet in the lead up to it. “I put it down to nerves, but I had to take a few days off college afterwards as I couldn’t leave the house,” says Croke.
