stef,
I've gone from IBSD to IBSC and then back again. Currently I'm in the IBS-C mode and have been for quite a while. Everything comes out like small pebbles, or rocks. This for me is life consuming. It's an everyday struggle, one that I hate.
Recently I had an upper GI series done and they scared the living daylights out of me by saying that the barium that I drank, once it was inside would become hard as concrete, so I had to ensure that it came out quickly. I just wanted to cry, as I have nothing but chronic constipation alll the time. What craziness I go thru.
So, you are not alone, I would bet alot of people have switched back and forth between IBS-D and IBS-C.
Good Luck,
A
