I see a lot of posts where women complain of their symptoms getting a lot worse during their periods. Well, I would like to pass something along to you. I have always suffered from migraines, most of which were triggered by my period. Every month I would have a day or two of horrible migraines. My IBS (especially C) would also get really bad. An OBGYN finally suggested I stop having periods. I currently take the Necon birth control pill, and skip the fourth week of placebo pills. Therefore, I never get a period. I never have the up and down hormone changes, and I feel great in that department! No more PMS, drastic drop in migraines, and no more hormone-induced IBS symptoms. Just thought that might be something some of you would like to try. Apparently it's becoming a fairly common treatment for menstrual migraine sufferers - why not let it help your IBS too?
