@sandrajane Just be careful and watchful. I had IBS for decades before it evolved into UC. Never knew that could happen but it can and a GI told me this. I went to the ER a couple of years ago with what I thought was IBS since I had diarrhea attacks for over a month. They did a CT. Found some colitis around the colon area behind my navel. Unfortunately, it's now IBD. Best of luck.
