Can you suddenly change from a D to an A?

My educated guess is yes, but I wanted to see what the thought is here. Granted, I am under a huge amount of stress right now studying for the bar exam, which may have some bearing on my changes. I was totally stable until all this studying began. Now I have one day where I go a few times, sometimes I get crampy and urgent feeling, but not the consistency of D. Then I skip a day. Then I have to "unload" again. Haha...it's a new experience for me.
Any thoughts? Is this A even though I don't feel constipated..just don't have anything wanting to come out. Could this be a temporary thing while I'm under all this stress? Thank you!!!

That is what I have and I call A. Urgency not true D. I only get "properly" C very infrequently and go at least every other day.
Stress and diet can definitely change your IBS type, lots of people have gone from D to C I think on here, and I used to be A tending more towards D but sometimes I am more C for a few weeks than D. A is my normal though.
Good luck with your studying. My Dad is doing Calbar too and he is beginning to stress, but is still running his practice and working all day every day while trying to study.
If you are sitting yours in San Mateo Expo Ctr and see an Irish guy looking lost take pity on him and be nice, he's my Dad!

Aw, no I am sitting in Sacramento where I live. San Mateo is not too far away though. I commend your Dad immensely for tackling this thing while keeping the rest of his life in order! I guess I can get through this, too

Same thing definitely happens to me, and I consider myself an A, and a former D. Not to state the obvious but sometimes it helps to be reminded -- make sure you are drinking plenty of water, and be more conscientious about eating fruits and veggies and other sources of IF than you were as a straight D.
Good luck. We're in the homestretch now, thank the lord. Gee, then we get to be lawyers and can finally relax?

But relaxing isn't really part of the job description  (I know your tongues was in your cheek when you wrote that)
I'm qualified four years and have an inhouse job which is relatively stress free compared to jobs in practice and I still find it hard to relax.
It is WONDERFUL not to have to study any more though, as you will both soon find out

..I remember that feeling so well, the feeling of freedom when I finished my last exam and the delight of being able to go out for dinner as I could finally afford it! My salary as a lawyer was three times what I earned as a trainee and that went up in the space of a weekend, it was soo fantastic. I did find very quickly that my spending grew as quick as my salary though!
LOL re the verbs Panda.
Best of luck with the exams girls. Hope you have long holidays planned for after the exams, you deserve it.
