My partner suffers from IBS and cannot eat gluten or dairy products because of it. Also I have noticed he always seems to feel run down and unwell even though he has a relatively easy life with little stress. He suffers badly from mouth ulcers and constantly has a runny nose. A friend of mine who suffers from Crohn's said these are all symptoms of the disease but could it be something else that I am missing?

I B S is only diagnosed when they cant find what is causing the trouble,it has no consistent symptoms and if you are prepared to accept that ,also does not progress to worse symptoms Digestive problems are the worst to diagnose and often the true cause is only found when its to late to do anything about it,or on post mortem after death.If your partner is feeling worse keep going back until they find the true cause

A zinc supplement cured my chronic mouth ulcers. Avoiding very high roughage foods like muesli helped the bowel problem. But mine was definitely owing to extreme stress.
