                        My Mother has suffered from SEVERE abdominal pains that are accompanied by excessive diarrhea for about 3 months now.  It comes and goes, sometimes lasting only a few hours, sometimes 3-4 days.  It will disappear for 2-5 days, but never more.  Naturally, her health and mental attitude are going downhill. All sorts of doctors and tests have yielded no results, only a suggestion that it could be IBS.  Somebody please help!
