A member asked:
I have abdominal pain, and i have the urge for bowel movements usually after a meal or when i am in public. i also get full on small meals. is it ibs or stomach flu, the symptoms have been only once 2 months ago and now again for 5 days straight?

It is most likely an episodic problem, rather than IBS. By definition, IBS is a long-term condition which affects the function of the bowels. It does not necessarily come and go with normal periods in between. Try increasing fiber in your diet initially. If your symptoms remain persistent, however, you should see your doctor.
