(I also have Ulcerative Colitis, but it doesn't help things along during a flare, unfortunately).

Yup! LOL Our spinal flares symptoms are pretty similar, Cherie. No fun, and last a long time.

The majority of the control for your immune system is in your intestines. If your immune system is on the fritz, your intestines should be on the fritz.

I started out many years ago with vicious IBS. I knew every bathroom, everywhere I went, and was panicked if I had to go too far from any of them. My world became so limited, and while working on an ambulance, its not a good idea to have to turn over CPR to a partner because its either find a potty or pass out. I only had to do that once to make me seek tummy help.

I've been wondering the same thing B2Y. My IBS sx started about the same time my as my first ms sx. IBS is one of those dx of last resort when the docs don't know what else to tell you.

Long before my ms dx I was told I had fibromyalgia and IBS. Now my neuro and I believe it was ms all along.

I'm on meds since my whole digestive track, including tummy, likes to spasm. That's where my fun issues come from.

On my bad days, you can see my tummy jump up and down. Reminds me of Alien.
