Anyone seen Prime Time Medical Mystery about stomach problem & hormones?

We've discussed the possibility of hormones causing IBS or making it worse many times on here. Most women have worse IBS symptoms around the time of their period, have completely different symptoms (sometimes better, sometimes worse) when pregnant, and some have had IBS only as long as they have had "female problems", such as fybroid tumors, endometreosis, ovarian cysts, etc., and when said female problems flare, their IBS flares as well.

Well here's something to think about...

I've had crohns for 15 yrs now, the first 11 yrs I never had any correlation between how my CD behaved during that time of the month, then the last 4 yrs that's all changed...my GI suspects I also have IBS ontop of having crohns...I know some IBDers (CD/UC) do also complain about problems during their periods, but for myself I find it awfully strange that in 11yrs of flaring with my crohns, my periods did not have any impact...until about 4 yrs ago when my GI suspected that I've also developed IBS. Coincidence, maybe, but there is definitely a connection between hormones and bowel activity, men have hormones too so that could be part of why men get IBS and/or IBD as well...at least I think it's a peice in the big puzzle of it all.

If you know it was on ABC, you ought to be able to go to their website and request a transcript or a video copy. They should have a listing of their news programs and what was on them so you can pick out the one you want.
