Did you know that 10 to 15 percent of Americans suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)? Many more also meet the criteria of the diagnosis but have not been formally diagnosed.
IBS is a chronic condition characterized by abdominal pain/discomfort and altered bowel habits, mainly diarrhea, constipation or alternating episodes of both. Other symptoms may include bloating, feelings of fullness, urgency to use the restroom, and feelings of incomplete evacuation of stool. The symptoms are often relieved by having a bowel movement and made worse by eating.

When Good Morning America arrived at Cedar Point Amusement Park for a feature on Steel Vengeance, Crystal Amberlyn found the “talent” needed to fill the giant coaster’s seats.
The Ohio Northern University senior runs interference for media, heads up the in-house Snapchat account and does what’s needed for Cedar Point to put its best foot forward.
“I remember my first day on the job,” recalled Crystal. “I was thrown into a video shoot for the new Forbidden Frontier on Adventure Island. I learned to do what’s needed in order to make things run smoothly. Many times it’s behind the scenes.”
