I lived in Italy for 3 months when I was 16 / 17. While I was there I had a lot of (unknown to me) unpasturized milk and cheese. I ended up with a GI infection. That might be where it started. We don't know for sure. IBS-D (mostly), Heather's diet is my life saver!!

I've had IBS since I was 12. Even before that, I had vague stomach troubles... seriously as far back as I can remember. I've ALWAYS had it, and not for any particular reason. Anxiety makes it worse, but it wasn't the cause.
My father has various gut troubles too, as does his mother. They say it isn't hereditary, but I beg to differ.

I don't know how I got it. Well, not exactly at least. About six years ago I think I developed a mild case of IBS-C and on Jan.17,2005, it turned absolutely nasty. I woke up that morning feeling really C and in bad pain, it felt like I had a blockage in my sigmoid colon. I couldn't figure out how the heck that happened overnight, but it did and it didn't stop. The BM's were so stressful that I ultimately had a stroke last November, only after that did I manage to get it under control, but I'm still not stable. -Bob

I got severe gastroenteritis twice, ended up in being admitted to ER twice in a couple of months, put in very strong antibiotics after second bout, and all this through a very stressful time - losing my job, amongst other stuff.
I consider myslef IBS-D, but very occasionally can be A.
