I'm new here and haven't had a chance to search the board yet or find my way around.
Two quick questions - when they say that IBS is characterized by alternating periods of diarrhea and constipation, or predominantly one or the other,
1) does that mean alternating periods within one day - like changing from one type to the other within hours (or minutes)??
2) For those who experience diarrhea, is it just like one or two quick episodes, or is it a complete purging of your entire intestinal system, right down to all the remaining water?
Thanks!
Chris
