So sorry to hear about your bout with whatever that was.  You know, I often have so many other symptoms that I'm never sure are IBS related (ie., the nausea, the chills, the fatigue). My family used to think I was a hypochondriac too. On occassion something like that will happen to me too. What did you eat earlier that day? Anything unusual before the applesauce? And yes, I think sleep patterns play a role too b/c I had never really thought about IBS getting worse from lack of sleep until I found this site, however, I always knew that I would be nauseous if I didn't get a good night's sleep (verified by the constant nausea I had during the early months of my babies' lives up all night  ). Perhaps you did just have a small stomach bug. Sand once replied to me when I had a night of d and chills after eating out that us IBSers and our friends/spouses/whoever could eat the same thing and we would get sick but they wouldn't b/c our bodies are so sensitive.
Also as a side note, I officially have microscopic colitis too and I was so violently ill this past summer for about 4 days passed out literally in bed with burning fever/then chills/d/couldn't even move. Turns out it was a virus but the doc. said she would put me on antibiotic anyhow b/c the colitis makes it harder for my body to fight things off or I tend to get the "minor" illnesses more severely than someone else. I thought that was interesting. Not sure how much science is behind it but it would fit the picture of my life.
Well, I sidetracked. Anyhow, I made an appointment with my doctor tomorrow (not the usual one that I love but a female who the nurse said is easy to talk to)...I'm going to present the whole thing including Heather's diet, etc. to her and see what she says about the Lexapro and Clonopin. I am relatively small too...about 115 pounds...not sure if that impacts on the mg. of meds but perhaps going up to 10 might help me. Thanks for your input. I'll keep you posted and feel better.
