Imagine that... another question for the Lovely Heather!! Even though you may think you don't have all the answers... I think YOU DO! (he he he) People should feel lucky you've dedicated your life to helping/touching so many other lives!!!!! (I honestly wish to do the same!! Everyday I wake up and think... I wish I could help everyone else who has this, I wish I could take away all their suffering and pain -- emotional and physical) KUDOS to you!
Anyways... I was wondering, I know there are different types of IBS... IBS-C (me), IBS-D, and IBS-A... Perhaps a person starts out IBS-C... will it ever fully change into IBS-D? I know it can be alternating... but could it ever just completely change to the other?
So far I am still IBS-C... no signs of IBS-D in the air, but just for future reference and out of pure curiosity?!
Thanks so much,
*ME*

Hi - From what I've read and heard from people, IBS can change from D to C, or vice versa, but this doesn't mean it always will. Lots of folks seem to be one-symptom predominant for their whole lives, or as long as they have IBS, and that never changes. Other people switch from one symptom to the other, or back again. I don't know what would suddenly precipitate the change, or why it only happens for some and not others.
Personally, my IBS hasn't changed at all since I was nine years old in terms of the symptoms and such.
