Can anyone tell me why when I have a stomach bug, does it make the bug last longer and upset the ibs for longer and make it worse than it already is.(I have IBS- D every day) than when my husband has a bug and has not got Ibs.I have a bug at the moment and the pain is bad, I have sweats and bad D, its not fair.

I find myself that my gut takes WAY longer to calm down after a routine GI virus thananyone else I know! Just part of it for me I guess.

There are a bunch of reasons a person may get diarrhea. Often it is infectious parasites, food allergies, disorders like Crohn's or Ulcerative Colitis and more.
