Re: Am I IBS-D? Unsure how to categorize       02/15/11 04:14 AM Edit Reply Quote Allisonmary Reged: 01/03/04 Posts: 533 IN chinese medicine, the definition of constipation is less than one bowel movement per day or difficulty or incomplete evacuation. This makes more sense to me than that rome criteria. And of course they take in to account whether or not the stool is soft, hard, loose, or dry to make a diagnosis. Constipation can be from many things for example an excess condition (too much heat drying up the fluids) or a deficiency condition ( not enough blood/fluid or digestive fire to move the bowels- this constipation will tend to have soft normal type stools difficult to evacuate) or it can be from some sort of stagnation that needs to be moved. My opinion is that its impossible to categorize IBS in to IBS-D, C and A. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
