I'm sort of like that too. My IBS and bcp started about the same age. So I can't say how I would feel with a change of bc. I take orthocyclen. I do think though that I feel better on the pill than off b/c it makes periods and cramps so light. Every so often I have a bad month (which was this one) and might still get D once in a while (this time I had it worse than ever since the diet- quite unexpected and only period related) but compared to what I had when I was a teenager it is so mild. I used to get bad D and cramps so bad I would vomit. Now I don't even have to take advil. So I guess I'll just stick with the same pill. I am SO scared of getting pregnant that anything is worth staying baby-free!
-------------------- 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!
