Insult to the gut?

I'm not sure what all is in the Metabolife that could possibly do this, but if there are ingredients that upset your GI tract, the chronic use could become an "insult to the gut", which can lead to IBS. You can do search for past posts on this, or check the First Year IBS. It's a possibility, and the laxatives could have exacerbated the GI upset and started the IBS ball rolling too. And your symptoms do fit the Rome Criteria, info about that is here web page

Good luck at UW - let me know what happens there, and what you think of them.

Best,
Heather
