Thanks so much

Hmmm...well not getting your period is NOT a regular part of IBS...some people have that problem through not eating or just the stress. I'd say you'd want to get the gyno side checked out just in case.
Otherwise, yep, sounds like IBS. Were you properly diagnosed? Had all the tests? Colonoscopy?
Try the diet! And I'd get a SFS asap.
Btw, post regular IBS, diet or board questions on the "Eating For IBS" board in future and you'll get more responses.

Has your doctor checked your thyroid? There is more than one test for this. Pester your doctor to look a little bit more into what might be going on!
I agree with Linz about the GYN. Get that checked out as well!
Take care,
Karen
