I've read several posts in which IBS-Cers mention their "attacks," but my question is what exactly constitutes an "attack" with IBS-C (while with D. its obvious)? Is it the onset of prolonged C. when things had previously been moving well, or bloating, gas? If its an onset of prolonged C, isnt it hard to tell what exactly it was of what you ate over the course of the (past few even) day(s) that caused it? I'm always bloated/gassy, and often stopped up so i guess that's why i don't know what my attacks are like and when/from what i get them. I'd like to know what y'all consider an attack so i can start paying better attention and figure out what foods exactly bother me and then get on the way to geting better! Thanks!
