Hi all,

I was not officially diagnosed with IBS (my uro had recommended I see a gastroenterologist, but I was trying to deal with one chronic disease at a time), but I was having cramping, diarrhea, constipation, etc., all the symptoms usually associated with IBS. However, I've noticed that I haven't had one loose stool or cramping episode since starting diazepam! Could it be that my bowel symptoms were all related to PFD, and that's why I'm getting so much relief? Just curious as to what others have experienced.

It is possible. Diazepam can be used as an anti-spasm medication, and that is sometimes a treatment for IBS. Glad it helped. :)
