Tiredness, diarrhea and nausea?
Over that last week i have been suffering with diarrhea, nausea and extreme tiredness. I do suffer with IBS but i know what my 'trigger foods' are and dont eat them - also have had quite a good week so not stress related! Any ideas?
i have not actually been sick (yet!!)
99.9% sure that I am not pregnant as well!

Have you been tested for celiac or microscopic colitis? Many people who are diagnosed with IBS actually have one of those instead. If your doctor has not done an celiac blood screening panel I would suggest you get one asap, especially if one of your trigger foods is anything dairy, wheat, barley, rye or anything with hidden gluten in it.
I'm assuming you have had a colonoscopy in order for your doctor to give you a diagnosis of IBS? If you have had no testing at all, get yourself to a GI asap. Many docs use "IBS" as a diagostic dump bucket to explain away symptoms without actually testing for anything else. Horrible thing to do, really.
Good luck, hope this helps. I was told I had IBS and lactose intolerance for over 10 years when in reality I had Celiac disease. If I had not figured it out myself and demanded the celiac screening blood test to get my diagnosis I could be very ill, or almost dead with cancer right now. It happened to me, it can happen to you!

Sounds like you may have come down with a stomach bug. Keep hydrating yourself and if it's not gone in one week, or if you are vomiting and going to the bathroom so badly that you are weak and severely dehydrated, I would see the MD.

You probably only have some type of flue. Sleep, drink lots of water, and go on the brat diet.(Banana,rice,apple sauce,toast) It should get better, in 10 days, if you aren't better, call the doctor.
