That combination is not known as the cause of either condition. You should see a gastroenterologist for a correct diagnosis so appropriate care can be offered. It is very important to differentiate IBS and IBD and the latter is quite complicated. Take care.

No, these medications do not cause IBS or IBD. If you’re needing to use them frequently, you should talk to your primary care doctor or a gastroenterologist for advice. Good luck.
