Every so often I put out a question about something I get that isn't necessarily IBS. I hope someone knows about it or can suggest a specialist to see.
Every so often (like 3 days a year) and for quite a bit of winter (additional several weeks) I wake up and within an hour get extreme lethargy, slight nausea, slight headache, body aches and heavy limbs and general malaise. I just sleep all day and usually by evening it lightens up. In winter I will have it for many days or even weeks, feeling slightly better occassionally. I had a full blood work up done last year and everything was perfect. So my doc thought it was SAD and recommended a lighbox. This year I tried to not get it so bad and take lots of vit D, sit by my light and work out. But 5 weeks ago I got it and it lasted 3 weeks. Then bam! it went away, gradually in 3 days and on the 4th day I was back to normal and felt great. So obviously it can't be something like SAD, depression, blood sugar, vitamin deficiency or anything since it comes and goes without me changing anything. The only other person I have ever heard to get it is my mom and she always felt like she had a yucky dream that made her nauseous or nausea made her have a bad dream. Not so with me.
Since my doc has no ideas and no one with IBS ever says they get it (I was great IBS wise Mon-tues and got it Wed), I need to figure out what kind of specialist to see. Any ideas would be appreciated and if you get something similar let me know.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
