How is it diagnosed and when do you decide it is bad enough to see a dr? What is the treatment?

I have it, a friend of mine at work has it. She has had every test there is known to man to make sure nothing else is wrong it all comes back to stress and IBS. Probiotics is all the doctor continues to recommend.

Re: Ibs?

I think it all varies from person to person. I hve not been tested for IBS, but when I told my dr my symptoms he told me that is what it is. I am lucky mine is not as bad as some people. I watch what I eat as I know that there are certain foods that trigger it more than others.

I also can tend to go from being constipated, to the runs and back to feeling constipated all in one day.....or I can go 3 days with no poops....or have 5 in one day. One the days that I am very irregular or nto going at all I take Lax-A-Days to help keep it all on track.

it sucks HUGE

IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion. DH's GI doc recommended 2 fiber pills a day... seems to work fine.
