'I found out I had IBS while filming new Gordon Ramsay series and it's about time we talk about this debilitating condition'
Sophie Taylor is aiming to break a taboo and help others after discovering that she has a debilitating health condition while filming a new Gordon Ramsay series. The young entrepreneur is a contestant on series two of Gordon Ramsey’s Future Food Stars on BBC One.
"We were filming and I didn't know about IBS but I started having symptoms at this time," recalled Sophie. "I had really bad flatulence and I was mic'd up at the time so I was worried it was going to be more amplified by the mic. I was worried about it affecting my performance. "I was diagnosed with severe IBS and I try and talk about it. It's a condition where it's hard to get diagnosed. It's hard to have it taken seriously as well. Also people don't want to talk about it. Sometimes even now I'm embarrassed or I'll laugh when I'm taking about it.
"It was scaring me and embarrassed but part of me was saying 'get on with it you've worked for this opportunity.' I'm never one to quit. Everyone there as amazing and supportive. "People suffer with symptoms but there's not enough awarenes around in order for it to be taken seriously and it's hard to get a diagnosis, especially through the NHS. I was able to speak to someone privately and that's how I got my diagnosis. I'm hopeful there will be some more research and eventually there might be a cure or something to help us."
