It's from the IBS: your mucosal lining. A lot of IBSers experience the mucus. I have some sinus problems too, e.g., sometimes a drainage problem in my throat or excess mucus there. A link to your mucus problems "at both ends" could possibly be one having to do with immune response (body secretes mucus as an immune response to certain stimuli). ? At least, we think that's true in my case (though I don't have much IBS-type mucus).

I asked my Gi at one time if the reason I produced so much mucus in my bowel (or so it seems) could it be related to having chronic sinusitis. He said they werent. I found alittle information about mucus and IBS at a website www.gicare.com under patient education and IBS. Eric also has a link there from his site as well as others. I think that dairy products make you produce more mucus in your sinuses and that it is thicker too. As a child my Mom always said to keep away from dairy when you have a cold. Clear liquids, fluids and juices that are on the light side will make the mucus in your sinuses thinner so it will hopefully drain out and go away. Hope this helps
