Ummm… IBS can be constipation as well. Mine is. The article makes it sound like their group of IBS patients all had the runs.

IBS is a pretty blanket term anyway meaning they dont know whats causing it for the most part.

Yep. For me it was basically just 'It is not killing you. We can't find any allergies or hormonal issues or anything else. So... here is a diagnosis. Have fun.'

I'm still pretty lucky with my IBS. But damn does it suck on some days.
