Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Additional IBS/Colitis ideas

I just want to say thank you to all who have been posting replies to my original questionl I have learned a lot from you and realize that outside 14 weeks of very bad D, many are having a worse time. In my colonoscopy they did not find the bad thinga - only what the second Dr. described as a milder form of inflammation. Noa, one of you mentioned that long term and bad D does keep the colon irritated badly. I saw a gynoc. yesterday because I was sure my hormones were in bad shape and she agreed. I had been taken off of prempro several months agao after taking it for 20 years. it was replaced with a tiny dose of Fem HRT. It was only shortly after that that my D began. She suspects that my body simply did not absorb the new type of Fem HRT and the shock of change and upset could have set things off. And D for so long could have influenced the inflammation in the colon. (That latter idea is mine!)
Only a thought but some might relate. WS
