Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Heather, Please I have some questions..

Heather,

In a study you have, "Symptoms across the menstrual cycle in women with irritable bowel syndrome. "

That body mass index, was used to compare patterns of symptoms across the menstrual cycle by oral contraceptive use and predominant bowel pattern (diarrhea, constipation, alternating).

My question when you say body mass, are you referring to body weight? Does weight have a roll in this? Meaning if I'm over weight, it flares up more?

Also, I'm not taking oral contraceptive, but when women are expecting there period, even just before, the systems are getting worse, what can we do to combat this.

I've been waking up at 3AM with pain again. I can't say it's constipation because I am going to the bathroom everyday, but I still get pain. Is this spasms without constipation, or diarrhea? However, a lot of gas..

I'm doing a search in your liberty trying to understand all of this.

Does emotion have any part of this?

I have to ask you this question. Can the root of this problem be genetic, and rooted in fear, and insecurities even from the parents to the child?

Thanks,
Christine
