Had two visits to the docs today one for another blood test then later for a follow up appointment with the doc,there I found out they were doing the test because my blood is too thick and yes one of the symptoms of thick blood is IBS,but apparently this goes un diagnosed and can cause probs in the future so it might be worth your while to ask and get that checked out. I haven't posted this to freak people out,it might be another avenue to go down and explore.they have also told me to stop taking the omeprazole to see if that is aggravating the problem.??????
