If you don't understand something or think I left something out let me know. I am finding that most people have had some kind of operation or medical procedure prior to getting IBS I have to do some back tracking to get totals I'll give you another update next Monday. Have a great night.

Maryt,You are awsome!!! I don't know what other info. i can offer you other than I am a man and think that stress seems to be the greatest factor to my IBS D. I found your comment on most have had some kind of operation or proceedure done before IBS. This is not true for me as far as I know. My symptoms started when I was real young. My mother (God rest her soul) had the same problem. Thanks for doing all the work I am glad numbers and data are your strong points.Ricky
