IBS...: IBS=anxiety disorder that has been internalized into a physical symptom. IT IS NOT AN ACTUAL BOWEL DISORDER. The brain fog, poor concentration and headache all sound like further manifestations of something bothering you that has gotten SO big, that IBS symptoms aren't enough anymore to cover it. What's going on in your life? See your doc. Perhaps it's time for therapy and/or a change in meds.
