I have had what I think is IBSD for a long time. I know where every bathroom is everywhere I go. I recently had a bad cataract surgery and have been under a lot of stress due to that. I started getting bloating and extreme bouts of diarreah. Mt stomach feels like it has a balloon in it. Went to my Dr and all she did was blood work, stool sample and put me on probiotics. I am scheduling a colonoscopy but does anyone find that stress causes flareups. I also seem to have elevated blood pressure.

    sorry to hear about your bad experience..Yes indeed stress increases the complications related to IBS or IBSD..... you should consult your doctor .....but there's an advice I would like to give you about reading something which could change your world .....have you ever heard about "NAVAL DISPLACEMENT"...if not please check and collect info about it ...I know at first its gonna feel like rubbish but once you match those symptoms with yours you for sure will regret why you were unaware of this miracle ...it will neither cost you money nor complications..give it a try ...l myself was once a sufferer of the IBS .....but trying naval replacement therapy just not only cured me but provided me with concept of being close to natural laws...I know modern science don't accept the concept of naval displacement but as you will surf through some articles on it you will think upon trying it ......

      Thank you, I will definately check into it. I am open to anything that will help. I have seen my Dr but she did not give me a real diagnoses. I am seeing a Dr to schedule a colonoscopy just to rule out other problems

    This is from the webpage UPMC Healthbeat. "You are said to have IBS when symptoms are present for at least three days a month for three months or more".

      I have had this problem for a long time but just never had this feeling of being so bloated and fatigued and just feeling so bad all the time.

      I know from much personal experience exactly how you fell, my dear, but you are on the right path.  Have the colonoscopy and, if that doesn't tell any other stories, you can rule out something worse than IBS.  You have my best wishes.

    Absolutely!  Stress is one of my major causes of flare up and until I get relief what may be stressing me, my symptoms get worse then better then worse again like a roller coaster.  Had a colonoscopy and endoscospy and nothing treatable was detected and the diagnosis was IBS which I already knew but wanted to rule out inflammation.  He told me to get more fiber into my diet and lower my stress.  Yeah, right.  I'm dealing with the death of my mother and the sale of her home.  No getting rid of stress for some time yet.  So I walk around bloated, passing gas and either running to the toilet or sitting there for an hour.  Sigh.  Not easy to deal with this condition.  Hang in there it may improve -- mine did for years when I had less stress.
