Renee, there are some 28 or so functional bowel disorders that effect different areas of digestive tract. Like upper gi and lower gi and anal rectal disorders.
IBS effects basically the large colon. So that incorporates the transverse ect..
The IBS is a distint enity means it is not what a lot of layman call it, as in any "gi disorder" or calling it a candida infection or food allergy for example. There is a difference between what is called organic diseases or infections and functional disorders. A lot of people think IBS is just a label for "any gi disorder", its not. THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
They have found physical problems, including strutural and other issues in almost all IBSers. They just don't know the exact cause/causes yet.
The main problem in IBS effects the funtioning of the large colon. For example this is one reason why there is not malabsorption in IBS and ibsers digest there food normally, because that is done in the small intestines.
IBS is a very real physical problem.
You can feel pain all over because of what is called referral pain and the way the nerves work there. Sometimes you may feel pain on one side, but it can be coming from a different area. Pain in IBS is also kindof specific.
This explains the different functional gi disorders.
http://www.romecriteria.org/rome_III_gastro/
So calling IBS things like food allergies or Candida or infections, is not IBS, but other conditions. Because IBS is its own disorder. Just like say Gerd is its own disorder or an ulcer its own disorder.
IBS has thre issues.
altered motility-the d or c or d/c
viceral hypersensitvity-the pain and discomfort
altered brain gut axis dysfunctioning-The back and forth communication between the digestive system and the brain.
Diagnostic advances: Symptoms and the roles of biological markers in IBS
How is our understanding of IBS changing? Will the way IBS is diagnosed change? An interview with Douglas A. Drossman, MD, Co-Director, UNC Center for Functional GI & Motility Disorders, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC. Dr. Drossman is a clinician, a clinical researcher, and an educator.

Validating the functional GI disorders
Dr. Drossman explains continuing advances that help us understand and visualize these conditions.

So the people calling IBS an infection such as candida is totally wrong and can hurt people's treatments.

This is from 2002
New Recommendations Discussed for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
A key outcome of the evidence-based analysis, according to Brandt, is confirmation that IBS is a "distinct clinical entity and that it is not a specifically psychological disorder."
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/443559
Toward a Positive and Comprehensive Diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
The Clinical Presentation of IBS
The diagnosis of IBS is determined by certain symptom clusters that "breed true" as a distinct clinical entity. The evidence for and features of these specific symptoms are discussed below.

I am just saying there are accurate information websites like the IFFGD and UNC and the reources on this site and my sites and some others.
However be very careful where the information came from and by who, Bee's site is totally inaccurate on IBS for a fact. IBS is NOT a candida overgrowth syndrome Period and its like calling an ucler IBS.
This hinders people from getting the right diagnoses and treatments.

I di Mike's program once, but then self tught myself using his methods and do it everyday, not listening on my own.
However I have worked or helped thousands of people who have done them and some do do it twice to see results.
I improve 85% from them six years ago and some symptoms have completely disappeared for me like bloating and distension and the very severe d I had as well as switching to c sometimes, that has all very much imporved. I still have issues with pain, but not as severe as tit really use to be, but something to note also I developed IBS from a very severe infection in mexico from dysentary and it almost killed me, so the intial reason for mine was really bad and that can make a difference.
If your thinking about them, they are very safe and natural and I highly recommend trying them.
There is also a quite a bit of research on using HT for IBS with very good outcomes. Actually some of the best of any treatments for IBS.

This can happen and does happen a lot. People can develop food phobias.
Eating and then not for long periods of time or not eating enough all add stress to the digestive system and IBS is triggered by stressors both physical and mental.

OMG Renee, it's alive!  In a way, it's funny. Some make IBS sound like an "alien", a living creature. Like you, I prefer not to give it too much power. Words are powerful, so I phrase it as "a situation", not a thing.

Yes, you did and I will pass it on. I believe Jen (Frygirl) wants to have a real time chat sometime this week. It is a matter of coordinating the time to accomodate all the different time zones. That is what's nice about this site...you can post to a forum like here, or just live chat with other folks.

I personally feel better when I eat less calories and lose some weight but others with bloating have problems keeping weight on. Eating often keeps the gut from getting cranky but eating too much overwhelms it.
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
