If it's treated the same as any IBS, does that mean that nothing is done about the bacteria?

Oh - the bacteria was taken care of at the time of the illness. The IBS persists. I had similar problems when travelling in the middle east and Europe in the 60's. However, to be fair I have to say that I had low level IBS symptoms since I was a teenager. I suspect illnesses, antibiotics, genetics and living have exacerbated my IBS over the years

Syl, thanks for all the info. You know it's interesting that you say that your symptoms have worsened over the years. My last GI doc told me that symptoms of IBS typically get better on their own with age. I found that odd because I can definitely say with no question that my symptoms are extremely worse now than they were 20 years when I first began experiencing symptoms. When I say worse, I mean the symptoms appear much more frequent with very few days of little or no symptoms - whereas before I would have months of no symptoms.
