      Not sure if I've asked before, but a lot of IBS cases are actually celiac related.  Have you been checked for celiac?

    Get blood work done and have your magnesium levels checked along with iron potassium. And then take a look at any other medication you're on that would interfere with other meds you take. Did you say 7 to 8 months or years
