I was just curious to find out if anyone is in the same boat as me. I went to the Philippines in January and had D and some sickness due to a bug I probably caught there. 1 month later, I developed IBS symptoms. Major D. Whatever I eat would be out of me by an hour. I get an urgency to go to the washroom and just have to let go... if you know what I mean?! I'm sure you do...
Anyway, since getting the IBS book and following the diet, I found that my D has decreased to just the mornings. So I'll have a soft stool, then about 15 minutes, I'll have an urgency to go again but this time it's softer and more D. Sorry for the explanation. Then I'm ok until the next morning. Does anyone have these symptoms?
I did end up changing doctors. Thanks for those that replied and he said I may have Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease based on my high white blood cell count in my stool sample. I'm going to get a colonoscopy sp? done soon to make sure. I'm really scared. Has anyone had this done before???
Thanks so so much for listening. I can only vent to this group as I don't know anyone with IBS.

Is it possible to get IBS after getting a bug in your tummy? Does this sound familiar to anyone?
