OK, so what you're saying is that Chron's is caused by some sort of autoimmune problem while IBS is more of a structural problem? The reason I ask is because I had some tests run last year that showed that I had some sort of (unspecified) autoimmune disease. I never went back for further testing-shame on me! I've tried tx for IBS but they don't seem to make much difference. Even doing things like cutting caffeine, greasy food and other traditional triggers, I still have problems. I'm wondering if I was misdiagnosed. Anyone have any stories to share??
