Interesting about IBS

I was reading one of the sites about IBS and found this interesting.
I have every single one of these:

Other Symptoms May Accompany IBS

Persons treated for IBS commonly report upper gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. About 25% to 50% report...
  • Heartburn
  • Early feeling of fullness (satiety)
  • Nausea
  • Abdominal fullness
  • Bloating Read More
Other GI symptoms also reported include...
  • Intermittent upper abdominal discomfort or pain (dyspepsia)
  • Feelings of urgency (the need to find a restroom fast)
  • Feeling of "incomplete" bowel emptying
Non-GI symptoms also occur. Sometimes, but not always, this may be due to an overlap of IBS with another condition. These symptoms include...
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle pain
  • Sleep disturbances Read More
Other symptoms tend to occur with more severe IBS such as...
  • Low back pain
  • Headache
Symptoms sometimes seem contradictory, such as alternating diarrhea and constipation. It may help to keep a Symptom Diary so your doctor can see how your symptoms change over time and in relation to diet, stress, and other factors. 

BUT!! I also have ALL of these as well! 

Symptoms NOT Characteristic of IBS

Symptoms of...
  • anemia,
  • blood in the stools,
  • unexplained weight loss, or
  • fever
are not characteristic of IBS. You should alert your physician immediately if you are experiencing these symptoms.

So....hmmm.....thinking.........
