Interstitial Cystitis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Question

I have been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis and suspect it is accompanied by irritable bowel syndrome. I have tried laxatives and enema for the IBS, but afterwards I still feel constipated, although I do evacuate...The IC and IBS often coincide and are worst during ovulation in my monthly cycle, so I think my main culprit is hormonal fluctuations...Does anybody have suggestions on this one?

You have to really watch your diet and try not to get really stressed.
