IBS-D: These symptoms are compatible with your IBS-D and flareups occur at times with no rhyme or reason. They may also occur with stress,rushing around,after eating certain foods,etc. Your gastroenterologist is best qualified to advise and treat you and may prescribe some of the newer medications now used in IBS.
