A member asked:
Can ibs related diarrhea be so bad that you can't even get 2 ounce of water in without having to go, or is that more suggestive of a stomach virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely a virus: It's unlikely for IBS to be that severe. It could be either severe acid production causing dyspepsia or peptic ulcer disease or more likely what you mentioned, an intestinal infection.
