IBS is common: IBS can manifest with abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, &/or alternating stools. Unfortunately, symptoms are non-specific & can instead indicate a number of inflammatory or infectious processes. The Rome 3 criteria support a constellation of tests that give your doctor considerable accuracy in distinguishing IBS & treating symptoms with diet +/- drugs. Call doc for what's right for you.
