I don't see anyone mentioning fatigue w/ IBS unless they also have fibro. ISOT, and found this list of Non GI complaints more common in IBSers, but I didn't really get a good idea of how many folks currently posting here would list fatigue as one of their IBS symptoms. It's definitely a problem for me since I was first diagnosed with IBS, and I've had all the bloodwork and tests (repeatedly) to rule out anemia, thyroid problems, inflammation etc. I'm healthy, just very tired at times.
Here's the list of complaints if you don't want to clicky-click on the link: 
In the new UNC digest newletter they list 26 non gi complaints more common in IBS then normals.
headache
dizziness
heart palpitations
back pain
shortness of breath
muscle ache
frequent urinating
difficulty in urinating
sensitivity to heat and cold
constant tiredness
Pain during intercourse -sex-
trembling hands
sleep difficuties
bad breath-unpleasant taste in mouth
grinding your teeth
jaw pain
flushing of face and neck
dry mouth
week or wobbly legs
scratchy throat
tightness or pressure in chest
low sex drive
poor appetite
eye pain
stiff muscles
eye twitching
Symptoms, such as pain, sweating, heart palpitations, and feeling faint are related to the exaggerated nervous system response to eating that occurs in people with IBS.
Anyway, this list just reminded me how complicated and chronic IBS is. Yep, we're special!
