Excellent article which addresses the anxiety of even eating an apple! Were it not for anti diarrhea medication I would have cramps and diarrhea every day muktiple times, but one has to wait for a bowel movement before taking another pill! … you explain it so well.

Thankyou. I feel that IBS has so very many questions to be asked and answered. For myself I think I would have coped better had there been a test, a diagnosis, and medications… but for so many years the symptoms, tests, causes, treatments have largely been ignored, misdiagnosed, and hard to pin down.

Thanks, just read the survey. I think I understand it, but they mention IBS but not participants with IBS D vs IBS C.

This study gives me a base start so will try and find more info. Much appreciated.

I didn’t get diagnosed until I was 55. So I am trying to research IBS triggers and the best foods for a sound IBS Diet.

Has anyone seen this IBS Sheet here and do you have any opinions on the information:
