I've been taking BC pills for the last 6 months and my IBS has progressively gotten worse over the last 3 - I've been getting D attacks 1-2 times per week, cramping and my anxiety is increasing. At the time I started taking them I was also taking a higher dose of probiotics and for the last 2-3 months I cut back on it so that also might be why I'm getting worse. BC's destroy the good flora (or bacteria) in your gut so probiotics should be taken to compensate for it. I know for certain BC's are the problem because this is the exact way I felt the last time I took BC's a few years ago. At this time I don't know if I should stop taking the BC pills or keep taking them and up my dose of probiotics.
