@CapricornFarm that is a miserable nightmare about the sinus infection.

How's the goat today Alaskan?

Still acting her perfect perky self.

no sign of any blood.

I have IBS too. I can definitely relate to the pain. What used to be what triggered mine the worst was yeast. For some reason it doesn't seem to trigger it anymore. Maybe try cutting bread (and beer if you drink it) out of your diet.

Yay!
Hopefully it was a 1 time thing.

I have IBS. It is miserable. I made the mistake of eating a Spicy Italian sub at Subway. I used to eat them every time i went there. I have not had one in a long time, so i ate it. It was really really tasty. I ate half the first day and half the second day. I will spare you the details but lets just say i was hurting. There was one drug i tried but they quit making it. It actually helped. I have samples of another but i don't want to try it until i get this sinus infection cleared up. So far i have had two courses of antibiotics and a steroid pack. Just as bad as ever. I am going back to the doctor tomorrow. Maybe i can find a good ENT here.

Ok, I'll say it here for the first time...I have IBS too. For the longest time I thought it was a gluten intolerance issue but finally found a doc that figured it out. Seems to be a difficult issue to diagnose but with the right medication, can be helped. Best of luck to you CF.

totally ignorant here...

But I always think gut issues are probably food sensitivity issues.

Is that the case with IBS or not?

That is what I am going to say it is ....at least until she proves me wrong.

Can't speak for all with IBS but for me the cause is listed as unknown. Maybe there's a hereditary influence (that's just me wondering)? My paternal grandmother and my dad both had it.

Sorry to break it to you Al, but the world is a complicated unknowable
