I have had a weird pattern change. Never took Immodium before but now I feel its necessary. I changed my lifestyle a bit and I am out more so I dont want my D to keep me down. Did anyone find their IBS-D pattern change in long bouts? I mean I was on and off for 2 months then clear for 6, bad for 1 week (homebound) then clear of it for 2 months straight,...and so on. Consistency is different too. Now I get cramps with the urgency. Im just trying to get to a few weeks of no problems. Maybe I picked up a parasite again?

Yes, Yes, Yes! I was C as a child, A as an adult, and now I am perfectly symptom free. When I am D, my pattern changes constantly. It is very annoying, because you don't know what you will get. I can go months and be fine, then I will have a bout of on again off again D,then I will be C for months. There is no rhyme nor reason, especially when I haven't changed a darn thing. Sometimes the D will last for a week, then it will skip to once every other week, and so on and so on.
The weird thing is now my mom is ill, and I am just fine. Usually stress exacerbates the D, but not this time.
