    i HAD SOMETHING LIKE IBS BEFORE iC SYNPTOMS STARTED

    i had something like ibs before I started having the Ic symptoms.
    I thought the ibs thing was caused be the energy drinks I used to drink. The Ibs stopped and that is when I started having the IC symptoms. Come to think of it, right after I had my c section A year ago January, I had to deal with constipation and not feeling normal for a while until the IC symptoms began. I have not had any problems with Ibs for a long time, I take metamucil and that seems to help!

    HI Gwendolyn,
    I had severe IBS for years before my IC got bad also. I'd suffer first from diarrehea and then constipation (severe constipation!) Then my son was born and then my IC took a turn for the worse. There does seem to be a corrolation between one and then the other.
    My IBS has been under control for a few years now because I eat prunes for breakfast every day. The over the counter stuff like Metamucil never did work for me and gave me stomach discomfort.
