I had a baby 9 months ago and I am �bs-d. All I can tell you is that my symptoms were less frequent and the only thing that I can think of is that my prenatal pills and all of the tums really helped me. I went everywhere which is something that I could never do previously and I felt good unless I ate spicy foods which I did anyway! make sure that you do not take iron supps because that can cause D and cramping too. I was fine during the birth too. I think that my mind was, for once, not on my IBS problems. good luck
