Default IBS with Fibro.

Last week I saw a Gastro which diagnosed me with Irritable Bowel Syndrome which I read up on and is also know as Fibrogut or Colitis. I do have Fibromyalgia and CFS along with RSD and CPS.

I was wondering if any of you have IBS and how you are dealing with it. He did put me on 3 things for it. Align, Amitiza, and Kondremul.

I had a colonoscopy yesterday and will know the results of biopsies in a week or so.

I knew I had the IBS about 4 years ago but it has gotten so much worse to the point that it makes me miserable.

Have any of you got any thoughts on this.

Thanks,
Ada

Hi ((Ada)). Yes I believe that gut problems are commonly associated with fibro people. I'm 59 and have had Ulcerative Colitis since I was 27. I have colonoscopies every year as the UC tried to take my life quite a few times. One time I dropped down to 86 lbs and was in the hospital for a month!

I take Colestid and Asacol. I just had a colonoscopy on Oct. 31 and one of the biopsies showed some change so now I have to go have it again in 6 months! Yucky!!!

you're not alone in this!
