Hi Angela,
My naturopath told me that twitching is often caused by stress (on the mind or body). My guess is that because your IBS is really flaring at the moment it is causing stress on your body in general. Try to de-stres and get as much relaxation as you can.

P.S Good luck for the 24th (that's my birthday!)

Whenever I get BAD diarrhea (several trips to the bathroom in a short time) I get very weak, light headed, and sometimes pass out. It usually only happens when I have a flu, but I have had it happen during an IBS attack. In me, it's definately not due to pain, it's due to the D. Maybe that's what happened to you?
