Do you think that eating too fast can cause IBS-like symptoms? What about sucking in your gut. I am not over weight by any means, but I am a fairly slender guy so any bulge in my stomach looks bad to me in the mirror so I have just grown accustomed to always sucking in my gut. So my abdominals are tight all day. But its not intentional. I just realize sometimes that I am holding in my "gut".Whatever, this is all new to me. I haven't been diagnosed with IBS. I am currently trying to change my diet/lifestyle to see if that improves anything. I went to a walk-in clinic last week and the doctor was completely useless. He wouldn't even listen to me. He just handed me some brochures and that was about it. Anyways.... thoughts?
