I've had IBS for 30 years or so. Recently I've had bad cramps coincident with excessive defecation and salt loss by sweating. Any ideas?

Hi jemt99, I also would like an answer to this , I have had constant diarrhoea for a few months now and I rang the dr when I was really sick and down about it all, I was put on an anti depressant ,but after the first pill I woke next day and it took me all day to feel the tips of my fingers I seemed to be frozen ,so I halved the pill and that helped ,but when I mentioned to the dr that I was waking with terrible cramps and painful spasms in my hands ,she said she wondered was it the anti depressants?

But your explaination seems the most likely ! sometimes I feel like I am just a nuisance to them !

lets hope there is an answer to this . good luck ,
