I was diagnosed with ibs a couple of years ago along with my bad back(a year prior). On recent research i have noticed a lot of people linking the two. I have gone back to my doctor on a few occasions and told him my findings yet he still beleives my back is just nerve damage. Even tho the back pain is worse when the ibs flares up or when i dont take my codeine and my body is "cleansing" itself.
