·Whenever I get a flare up of my IBS, I tend to scare myself with thoughts that this has got to be something worse - i.e. Crohn's disease, Colitis, Cancer, etc. My doctor has ruled out Crohn's through blood work (he says anyone with Crohn's would have an elivated white blood cell count). He ruled out Colitis (I do not have bloody D - even had to leave stool samples to check!) I have not had any major testing done. This all started after a case of food poisoning. I had IBS attacks for about 5 months. Things got better, for awhile, but now its back again. I was just treated for Candida Overgrowth syndrome. Had yeast infections everywhere - guts, mouth, vagina. Got relief from a lot of pain, but still have some D and slight cramping almost constantly. Maybe I should be treated for hypochondriasis. Maybe I need some more testing to make myself feel better. Help! Any replies would be appreciated!
