Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Could either of these supplements be causing D?

I'm at my wit's end. I was moderately stable in terms of my IBS, and then I got diagnosed with fibro. One supplement she put me on was screwing with my stomach, but I stopped taking it several weeks ago. I'm having nothing by D, every day, I've been on essentially the BTC diet for the past two weeks, and it's not helping.

So, the two things I'm taking that are different than when I was stable are a B vitamin complex and this Fibro Calm stuff.

Here's the ingredients of the Fibro Calm from their website, since I'm at work and don't have the bottle in front of me:
FibroCalm� is a unique formula developed for complete muscle, tissue, and joint support and combines nine all natural nutrients to promote a better night's sleep, comfort tense and aching muscles, and support joint mobility. This top product combines convenience and economics to deliver the following nutrients: White Willow Extract: The essential active compounds of white willow tree bark is salicin and other salicylates, compounds that support a healthy inflammation response. 5-HTP: A derivative of the amino acid L- tryptophan, 5-HTP is converted to serotonin, an important neurotransmitter that promotes a positive mood and sleep. Tryptophan is also broken down into ribose and may help to increase energy levels. Malic Acid: A fruit acid that is essential in the formation of ATP. Malic acid has the ability to allow the body to produce ATP more efficiently, even under low oxygen, or hypoxic conditions. Magnesium Hydroxide: Functions as a coenzyme and may help in calcium absorption and nerve and muscle function as well as possibly increasing metabolism for increased energy. Glucosamine: An amino polysaccharide concentrated around joint cartilage, it forms proteoglycans that attract fluids to the joint space where increased lubrication of the joint promotes movement. Chondroitin Sulfate: In the category of glycosaminoglycans, a long chain of specialized polysaccharides, chondroitin is the foundation for proteoglycans that help form connective tissue. MSM: A metabolite of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), MSM is approximately 33% sulfur and plays an essential part in amino acid and protein metabolism, as well as the maintenance of connective tissues. Boswellin: Boswellic acids found in this tree sap support a healthy inflammation response. Curcumin: A strong antioxidant that supports a healthy inflammatory response. Holy Basil: (Ocimum sanctum) Contains the powerful ursolic acid, which significantly enhances detoxification and helps support the inflammation response. Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid is a major component of joint tissue. It helps to hold lubricating moisture in joints and cartilage, which affects their resilience, elasticity, and strength.

Thoughts? I also take a calcium/magnesium supplement, a women's multivitamin, Heather's peppermint capsules, and Acacia. All of this I was taking before I got so unstable.
