Don't be too scared. I am not suspicious of Crohns or something like that, but more um for lack of better word, psychosymatic issues, which IBS can include but being your symptoms were not long term, I always worry. I don't want to scare you, it is just a feeling. I guess because I have had IBS for so long and many in my family do, it seems odd when people get it suddenly. Although there are quite a few that evidently 'get' IBS after a trauma or GI issue. I guess IBS is a pretty mysterious thing to begin with and I think it is a vague and all encompassing catchall disease. I hope you in fact that what you do have is just temporary and not IBS. Believe me, having IBS is not really the lesser of evils, excepting colon cancer I suppose.
Sorry I am not very understandable this evening.
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
