hi and not really sure if u r born with it but my dr said that usually when u r a baby there r signs that u may develop ibs like if u had colics and usually from some ppl ive heard can get worse after having a baby and with the eating well thats also still unknown really 😅 ibs for some can eventually go away the same way those who never had it can develop it (for example me) also just to make sure if it has gotten worse it could be that u may have developed an infection that happened to me i was diagnosed with ibs and then i noticed it got worse and turns out i had a candida infection and after that it went back to my “normal ibs” symptoms

I have been asking this question for years and thank you for answering me!!!

Hi 👋🏼 i don’t think you’re born with IBS but that being said I think there must be some sort of trait passed down. My mom and i both have gluten / lactose sensitivities and Crohn’s and celiac run on her side of the family, yet my sister was save all the digestive grief lol. That being said no one has the same problems as me, so i think environmental factors must play into it too. It’s a lifelong thing you have to cope with and adapt to but choosing the right foods and adjusting your lifestyle to accomodate your well being are the true long term solutions. I know I can’t have gluten or dairy anymore and I have a huge list of trigger foods but hey there’s a lot more worth living for than bread and chocolate! Gotta do things that make you happy first and find substitute foods that fulfill your cravings 😋 hope this helps somehow? Good luck on your journey 💕

Last January I had a bad IBS attack that sent me to the er. I was prescribed hyoscyamine. It doesn’t always work on me. But thank you all for the response!
