Re: Birth Control Pill (To take or not to take??)       01/06/05 05:23 PM Edit Reply Quote Dawnann Reged: 12/11/04 Posts: 10 well, I have pretty much decided that my bc pill has caused a major flareup of IBS symptoms. I was FINE until this fall, and I started BC pills on Sept 23. This week is my "off" week (last week in the pack so the pills are inactive) and I am FINE. No pain, no gas, no nausea, no heartburn. I felt so good that I got a soy mocha from Starbucks. And I was FINE. So I got another one today! Still fine. I am almost positive now that the pills are causing my gastro problems. I still have IBS, but it's mild unless I have way too much dairy. It always was predictable and controllable until I started these pills! That said, there are many formulations and different ones can affect you differently. It is supposed to take 2-3 months to get used to any particular pill. If my symptoms return with the start of a new pack, I am going to talk to my doc about a change. Good luck! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
