Hi Everybody, Tonight I'm sitting at the computer totally drained. I'm an IBS-D and if I'm going to have attacks it's always within the 1st 2 hrs of the morning. Well, this am my 1st BM was normal (which it usually is), but then about 15 min. later it hit with a vengence. Very bad cramps and it took 3 immodium and 2 Levsin to stop the attack. I sat in a chair for an hour trying to get my tummy back to normal and felt very tired (the levsin seems to do that; I don't take it very often) I ended up going to work about 10:30, but was totally exhausted. I left for home about 2:00 (the nice thing about having your own business ) I have been on the couch since then, not really sleeping, just totally exhausted and no energy for anything. I've been forcing myself to drink water and eat small amounts and outside of a little nausea, that seems to be ok. My question is this. Last week my hubby had some kind of an intestinal bug where he had diahrrea every time he went and some cramping. (He usually has a stomach of steel) He continued to eat normally and continued to work; just had diahrrea for about 4 days. I'm just wondering if because of my IBS, I may have gotten what he had and it's affecting me 10x worse. I haven't had those bad of cramps in a long time and even tho I get pretty tired after a major attack, I have never felt this terribly tired all day. What do you think? I'm kind of scared I'll have another bad one tomorrow am.By the way, I didn't take any SFS today (I take 5tsp of acacia/day); have just been trying to give my tummy a total rest of SFS and any vitamins Janene
