Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

...or should I say anti-attack? I have been posting that almost all week I've had so many bms throughout the day. I feel like I could go anytime...like there is always something there or my stomach is just not really settled. Yesterday I thought I ate safe and this morning...again...probably about 4 bms within an hour and 1/2. It wasn't watery d, but the urge was there and "lots" came out (sorry for the graphic)...somtimes I can't believe there is that much matter inside of us. Anyhow, I had to run to the bathroom in the middle of a Halloween parade a few times...once I was done though with the last time, I finally felt complete. Some of you have responded that this happened to you for awhile and then it got better. Other posts in regards to my question about whether primal defense could be causing this said yes it could at first. It almost feels like I have the old IBS-D days, I'm just a little luckier that I can "hold it" a little better than before and not so much pain. Anyhow, of course I didn't listen to my doctor or anyone on this website b/c I was so enthusiastic that I started the Primal Defense and GNC Digestive Enzymes at the same time (I think one day off). I also increased throughout this week my Acacia to 1 tsp 3times/day instead of 3/4tsp 3 times/day. Too many changes to be sure of what it is (of course period is halfway done...I'm usually fine by now with my bowels if it were related) and it's hard to say but I think I've been eating pretty safe. So my plan is to stop taking the PD b/c I am suspecting that to be the culprit. Before, I was more c from the Acacia and was trying to add IF. What do you think? Digestive Enzymes wouldn't cause this, would they? Thanks...I hope to hear some responses before bed so I can decide on what the heck to take!!
