I'm new to these boards! I am suspecting that I have IBS: in the past few months I've had some weird abdominal twinges in the lower right and left abdomen, and for a long time I've had loose stools and upset stomach, especially starting the 2nd-4th day of my menstrual cycle. I started the IBS diet about 6 weeks ago, including acacia fiber (1/2 tsp twice a day). I also started exercising. My stomach has been much better, although I still have loose stools occasionally. The problem is that I've missed my period this month, or at the very least, it's 3 or 4 days late so far. I should mention that I breastfeed my daughter (she is 3), but I've been having regular periods for the past 18 months, so I don't know if the breastfeeding has anything to do with it. I took two pregnancy tests, and they were negative. I'm wondering if any of you experience missed periods with IBS, or if you've missed or had a late period/change in cycle when you start a fiber supplement and the IBS diet? Thanks!
