We don't really know enough about IBS and it's relationship with bugs. Some of the research is now indicating that IBS might well be caused by a virus which the bowel is reacting to. Little is published on this subject at the moment but there does seem to be evidence that some people get IBS after an infection. I was actually taken to hospital with bowel pains, given blood tests and was told that my infection markers were up. I was put on IV metronidazole and ciprofloxacine and was told it had done the job after 3 days. I felt OK when I left the hospital but it was later that I developed the full IBS with constipation symptoms which was confirmed after a colonoscopy. The reason GP's are so vague on the subject is because they really don't know what is wrong. Perhaps in a few years time we will get some answers. Lets hope so anyway.
Best regards
