My doctor believes that my IBS was caused by a virus. Has anyone else had this happen? Is this common? I am just curious.

IBS is not "caused" by a virus. Sometimes a bad viral illness can cause the bowels to be more sensitive and bring on your IBS. Other traumatic things to your system like adominal surgery can bring on symptoms as well. IBS is a brain-gut disorder. It is not a virus that you just get over.
