Alicia,

I definitely feel your pain, because I'm just recovering from pretty much the same thing, although I had terrible nausea in addition to the extreme D. This has now happened to me 3 times over the past 6 months, and I'm always confused as to whether it's an IBS attack or the flu. (Once I found out it was the flu because my husband got it, too.) How do you know it's the flu and not IBS? Also, apparently we IBSers are extra-sensitive to these flu bugs? Because I've only had IBS for 2 years and almost never in my life have I had experiences like these. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,

Kristy
