Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Support Group
Irritable bowel syndrome is a common intestinal disorder that is characterized by bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramping, and constipation. Typically no abnormalities appear during standard medical testing, and so irritable bowel syndrome is identified by the symptoms. Although irritable bowel syndrome can cause serious discomfort, the intestines are not harmed.
Has anyone else ever heard of this? I think that this is my main IBS problem. I got it after taking lots of antibiotics for sinus infections and esp. after taking birth control. I've tried the candida diet I've read in books and it helps, as well as candex, garlic, and magnesium

Yeah, definately heard of it, for the WRONG REASONS!!! Below is some information, give it a read...
"Candida, or Candidiasis, is caused by candida overgrowth. In its benign form and in smaller quantities, Candida is inside all of us in the digestive tract, mouth, and throat isnt a health problem. But candida can become too prevalent within the gut and change into its more virulent, fungal form. This fungal form of candida produces rhizoids barbed appendages that cut into tissue and can cause candida to spore through the intestinal wall.
Once Candida has turned virulent and has made its way through the intestinal wall, it produces a multitude of problems and symptoms. Two of the most prevalent is Leaky Gut Syndrome and IBS. Meaning that the irritation and sporing caused by candida, has made the intestinal wall too permeable, so that it actually leaks undigested food and toxins into the bloodstream."
