I think it would be fun to play around ideas on changing the name of IBS. Although - I think I would have to vote for the Bitchy Bowel term. Priceless.

Louise, everyone is just having alittle fun. We all realize how important it is for us to get better, but we are still allowed to joke around!

Okay, I can't decide between Bitchy Bowel (which captures the feeling perfectly) and spasmitis (which has me laughing out loud).

On a bad day I might tell people I have both - let them try and figure it out.

I'm sitting here at my desk at work laughing so hard. I'm glad I'm the only one in the room right now! I love the "Can Really Appreciate Potties"!

If you want you can always say you have food allergies and not explain anything at all.

Hi everyone,

I have just loged on and seen your emails... I think it is great if we try and come up with another name for IBS and stop getting those blank looks...

I remember when I was first diagnosed my dad called it Irrational Bitch Syndrome.. It still makes me laugh....

I do have to say I like Bitchy Bowel..

Lauren

for all you out there who insist on changing the ibs. name. There is a saying; A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME STILL SMELLS THE SAME by the same token ibs by any other name will still have the same problems. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

Now that's the most sensible thing Ihave heard in awhile on this subject.
