[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 573571, member: 84"] You just described me the first couple of months after Fred passed. It was horrible. I don't have too much issue with IBS but when it flares it seems to do so with a vengeance. Forget anti diarrheals, I ate rice like mad.......only thing that helped. Changing my diet does nothing for mine. Never found a medication that helped either. Sometimes it flares due to extreme stress.....yet other times of extreme stress it doesn't show up at all. Then of course there is the lovely random flares. ugh Odd thing is Travis has been dealing with IBS symptoms for several years now. The kid has zero stress, so it's obviously not stress related. If it's food related we're having trouble finding trigger foods because one time it bothers him, next ten it doesn't. I tend to agree with Janet. IBS is a basket diagnosis........ a "we don't have a clue but it's GI" sort of diagnosis, just the same way fibro is "nerve/muscle" related. Heaven forbid they just admit they don't know cause or even what is wrong. Grandson Brandon shows IBS symptoms and has since he was less than a year. easy child was at her wits end and decided to try organic with him thinking maybe all the hormones and genetically modified foods were playing a role. We've noticed a dramatic change for the better. Hugs [/QUOTE]
