Hi Carlaveg; this sounds wierd but my IBS started 10 yrs ago.I believe it was a combination of things for me. I was working at the time, i quit smoking, decided 2 weeks before I got married to get married.The night of our wedding I awoke at 2 am with Diarehha!For the rest of the weekend I slept in between running to the bathroom. Call into work to say I have the flu. Finally got back towork but still having D.I worked in a meat dept.of the local grocery store,so it was not really good to be there. So for a while I would get to work,when I did make it, then have to leave . I ended up having to give up that job. I had a barium enema done,nothing, barium drink,nothing. Lactose Intolerance test,yes! Still having lots of D. plus all I did was sleep. WEnt to a specialist he did a scope down my throat,checked for Celiac;nothing. So this is when the Dr. decided it was IBS! Put on asacol. Continued this for a few years.About 5 yrs. ago I started bleeding. Scope done to check for polyps (found some but nothing major). Diagnosed with Proctitis Ulcerative Colitis. Now on dipentum (2 capsules 3 X a day. plus pentasa emema. On my last colonoscopy ( which is a real pain in the a..,excuse the pun)the ulcers were 2 inches up my colon. The bleeding is heavier at times when I have a flare up, considering of the ususal cramping, low fevers, diarehha (big time). Now in the process of control!! So I'm not sure what caused or actually started my IBS..I am still trying to figure it out.
