Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi Guys

I am new to the board so forgive me if i posted in the wrong place.

I have suffered with IBS for about 13yrs and over the last 6 months it has got progressively worse.
I used to get a flare up about every 2-3 months resulting in severe diarrheoa and stomach cramps. I could usually take a couple of Imodium and the bout would last about an hr. I would then be ok. The flare up was usually brought on by something i had eaten or stress.
Over the last 6 months the bouts have become more frequent and at this point they are happening every 2-3 days. Imodium no longer works and i have been in so much pain that i have nearly passed out. Food/stress is not always the problem. I can wake up and have a flare up before i've even eaten anything. Even on days when i have no pain i have the urgency to go to the toilet for most of the morning, going in excess of 10 times somedays.
Is this just IBS at it's worst or could it be more??

Thankyou for your time!
