IBS Temporarily Stopped During Pregnancy

Tagged As: Irritable Bowel Syndrome And Pregnancy

Question:
Has anyone else found their Irritable Bowel Syndrome stopped during pregnancy?  If anyone is aware of which hormone increase might have contributed to this I would appreciate hearing about it.

Answer:
Studies have shown that of women with UC and CD who get pregnant: 1/3 go into remission 1/3 stay the same 1/3 get sicker/have a flare I'm not sure of any research that deals with women with IBS, but would suspect the results to be similar.
