I have IBS, and am also diabetic. I find out that coffee, and soda seems to stir me up, and also certain foods and most of all green leafy productsa such as lettuce and cabbage! I tend to stay away from salads which cause indegestion and almost immediate running to the mens room. Also, weather has a great deal to do with it! If the weather gets hot and muggy, I'm in trouble. I also have Fibromyalgia of which IBS is a major part! If you have aching and IBS, get checked for fibro!
