Re:diagnoses       09/01/03 04:49 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Hi - glad to hear you're seeing your doc. Yes, an attack with spasms could last three days. Typically, you'd be on-off with symptoms over those three days, and not caught in one long cramp for three days straight without a break. But sometimes attacks are pretty non-stop for several days on end, and you could be touchy for a week or two straight. What you don't want is a diagnosis of IBS when you have non-stop, chronic symptoms for months on end without a break. That does not fit the diagnostic criteria of IBS. Try some really hot, strong peppermint tea for the spasms. It can help a lot! - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
