I was on this board for a while late last year and the beginning of this year. Glad I found this place. My IBS (mostly D) was controlled by diet.
Then I was diagnosed with a large tumor on my ovary. Had a complete hysterectomy and everything turned out to be benign.
The D stopped. I mean it..completely stopped. Now it seems I have done a switcheroo and am suffering from constipation! I have cramps from time to time..the same cramps I would have with the D but now its with the C!
I know that IBS can be a symptom of ovarian cancer but I'm wondering if simply having any kind of ovarian tumor could cause it...and therefore the symptoms ceasing with its removal.
I'm going back on the diet to check things out but I'm wondering if this is a first or if anyone has ever heard of this before? I'm glad the D is over but the C is no fun either! I still have to be careful with what I eat.

I thought surgery cured my IBS. Is this even possible?
