Veiled, the question actually fits the options, being: "How Many Days in Succession Have You Had IBS?" Yes, IBS changes as you describe, though that is not being debated here. It is a clear question surrounding the symptom off IBS. The only option which is not present which I will add now you have questioned this, is the placebo factor, being "Do Not Have IBS."
I only questioned if they knew IBS. I guess I assumed they thought IBS was a once in a while thing by how the question was phrased. Flare ups of bad times seemed to be it. But like PTSD IBS never leaves but luckily you can have good days. Unfortunately diet does not always play a role. For several days you cannot be more than 5 ft from a potty and sometimes for days you cannot make plumbing work for a good week. Most complaints are when poos go crazy not much mention of when you go a week and think you need to go to doc to fish out!
