No, but it's not people with IBS developing Fibro...it's people with IBS being diagnosed with Fibro...which was there, even if not a problem, before the IBS.
With me, I've had Fibro symptoms on and off since my early teens if not before. However, it was only when I got IBS and it got bad that the Fibro kicked in properly. It's like a vicious cycle...you have Fibro (or at least the Fibro genetic make-up) and that means you're more likely to develop IBS and if you do it makes it more likely that the Fibro will become a problem. SOme people (my Mum for example) probably have Fibro, but because they never developed IBS, or had a car accident or whatever, the Fibro never gets so bad to become a real issue.
Plus, these days, it's quite easy to get an IBS diagnosis whereas a Fibro diagnosis is more complex.

I started work on my new site! I bought the domain a couple days ago and coincidently to Linz's post it's called IBSandFibro.com. 
I'll be working over the next month to set up the forums and post my text, as well as set up a color scheme. Just wanted to let you guys know this was in the works!
