Hi there! It is possible to get IBS post infection and some of the people on the boards got it that way. I didn't but I know there are some of us who did. Your symptoms do sound like IBS but it's important you get the colonoscopy done. I had one a couple of months back. They give you some laxative pills which I found the worst bit and make you drink litres of prep which tastes like awfully sweet lemon cordial. I was most worried about getting tummy cramps with it but I didn't at all. Got sick of dashing to the loo in the end but it didn't hurt. The actual procedure you're given a memory blocker and sedative so you won't remember a thing. I was terrified of mine, if you do a search you'll find most of us were only to discover it wasn't as bad as we feared.

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