Is there anyway possible that someones seratonin levels could get screwed up after having a baby? Am I way off on how all this works? Can it get thrown off like hormones can? I have ibs-d but the only symptoms I have is urgent non formed stool. Thats all nothing else. It started after I had my third child and I was wondering if the pregnancy could of caused something in my body to start all this.

Some women IBS does act up after childbirth.
I don't think they know exactly why, but yes hormones are part of that issue.
If you don't have pain or discomfort or any other symptoms, other then d, you might not have IBS but functional D.
Have you talked to your doctor about how that might happen after childbirth that you know have D?

Well I always use to tell my doctor I felt like my giving birth had alot to do with it but he just laughed and said that wouldn't make me have this issue. I have a new doc now so I will have to talk to him about it. I have had alot of testing done and everything seems to be ok. Just the urgent bowels is my big issue. I take lomotil which works great but not an answer. I went to get my hormone level checked once and my Gyno said if my monthly was regular she didn't think it had anything to do with that but I ended up having a partial hysterectomy so I haven't went back for my hormones to be tested. I guess I will bring it up to my new doctor. What exactly causes functional D?
