Difference between IBS and Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome?

Answer:
IBS is tied to stress. Your intestines either contract due to stress thus making you constipated or they push waste thru to quickly again due to stress. Bacterial Overgrowth is caused by overgrowth of bacteria which does not occur due to your emotional state.
I have suffered from IBS for 10 years or so. There are medicines you can take to reverse bacterial overgrowth where as with IBS you just have to learn to live with.
