I guess I am confused buy the options. You know IBS is not a just day to day thing. I know stress poos are but not IBS. IBS is well, IBS. I have days of normal. Those are cool LOL. But IBS can make you shit your pants and at times make you suck it up so far it shows no sign of coming out for a week. 1-4 days is just not a description from my experience. Mine has swung both ways for days on end commonly as well, that is just what IBS does.
