I went to a reception last night and of course had to explain why I couldn't have the coffee or cake they served. I'm pretty open about my condition and people are curious, but the name Irritable Bowel Syndrome just doesn't give credibility to the illness. When you have Colitis, or Chrons, you get instant credibility because they sound like diseases. Irritable Bowel is just so benign that it actually seems as if you have some minor inconvenience and are making something out of nothing. I wonder how we'd go about changing the name and what it could be.......lol. Let's have some fun and come up with a more fitting name. Maybe something like Spasmitis.....or ?????????

We need a new name for Irritable Bowel, a more medical term!
