Can you answer holly b’s question about IBS?:
I have diaherra at least a few days out of the week with stomach cramps. When I use the bathroom the stomach cramps are somewhat relived. I ahve had these problems for years. But lately its worse, I had a colonoscopy last month so I don’t have colitis or anything and everything with my colon is normal. I go to a GI spealist this week.
The diaherra happens usually after eating greasy food like McDonalds and sometimes after Mexican food.

IBS Feedback: I’d say it has more to do with the food you are eating. McDonald’s food is horrible for your stomach. It may be that your stomach just can’t handle those types of food.
IBS Feedback: Perhaps you have IBS but don’t rule out gallbladder dysfunction.
IBS Feedback: Possibly, although I’m no doctor.
But I do have IBS, sadly. hahaha.
Sometimes dairy aggrevates my stomach too, so maybe try staying away from that for a while and see if it improves.
Every morning try eating yogurt, the bacteria in the yogurt will eat away some of the stomach acid.
Also, try staying away from greasy food (hard I know!)
Good luck at the doctor, hope this helps a little!
