Hello, I was just wondering if someone could explain the difference between mild, moderate and severe IBS. I've been diagnosed with UC and after a colonoscopy found that wasn't the problem this time, my doctor believes I probably also have IBS as well.
So needless to say I've been researching that now. What I have found is that there are three categories of symptoms, mild, moderate and severe. Compared to a person with UC my symptoms are pretty mild -- and I thank god for that. But since it's not UC and is most likely IBS, I'm wondering where I fit in. Are my symptoms severe, mild or moderate. It also seems to change depending on what I eat.
Just curious if there are any certain criteria or anything like that....
