I have had issues with (what I thought to be/was diagnosed as having) IBS my entire adult life. In the last 6ish months, it has escalated to the point that I made an appt with my doctor to have it checked out. I had a barium xray done today, as well as lab work. I was put on a prescription anti-diarrhea med and prednisone that tapers up over the next 10 days and PRN vicodin. Then I have to have a colonoscopy done. (EEK, the barium enema was BAD ENOUGH).

There is blood in my stool (sorry, tmi) and I have ulcers in my intestine.

I have a very healthy diet, manage stress well, I don't smoke and only occasionally drink. I also have PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) so the combination of cramping in my abdomen is pretty bad.

Anyone have this? know someone who does? Does a diet change help? Hurt? I am super concerned about the prednisone, I was on it once before for severe pneumonia and gained 15lbs in a month.
