Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

okay so I've noticed a pattern.I was on birth control for a while and my symptoms were very minimal, with the occasional flare up if I ate something bad or if I was under any kind of stress. Well I went off the BC 6 months ago and my body has fallen apart! I am living off chicken and turkey, noodles and rice and I am SICK of it. However, EVERY month during my cycle AND during my ovulation cycle I have a flare up. No matter what I do, I can't catch a break. We have been trying hard to concieve but I am so frustrated with my stomach upsets I am seriously considering going back on BC. Anybody out there have any suggestions?? I know we don't have problems concieving and doctors tell me that the average couple takes about a year. I am just so sick of being sick, how am I suppose to get pregnant if I can't stay out of the bathroom! I'm sorry if this is too much information. Just ignore it if you don't like it, I just could use some help.
