I know that hormones can really whack your system, and aggravate your IBS. I had (finally) a hysterectomy last fall, and my IBS has become less frequent and less debilitating since then. If the hormones (bc pills) are making things worse, go back to the doctor and tell him / her you want off them and why. If they listen and suggest alternatives, you've got a decent doctor. If not, find one. Every month, and every week toward the end, I would have full blown IBS-D attacks that kept me home for the first few days of each period. Nothing is worth that. It is absollutely possible to have both, and the bc pills could agggravate either one, so I'm confused about what taking them would prove? Also, you may have some other female issue (adenomyosis and ovarian cysts are two other hormone aggravated / related female issues that would cause pain and cramping).
