Believe it or not I was exactly the same but never any bugs in my urine have been now diagnosed with irritable bladder.My Specialist said it quite often goes hand in hand with ibs.I looked it up because I couldn't believe it and there are many people suffering with it.I have been just put on medication and it has helped.

Yes they say it goes hand in hand with ibs and is called irritable bladder.After years of suffering my doctor has given me Ditropan and Hiprex.The Ditropan has helped me so much I'm so happy.

Yes, I have had this for years. I have been treated for UTI with antibiotics even though there was no infection. The antibiotics would make my IBS better for a couple of weeks then right back where I started. My dr said it was spastic bladder and was very common in IBS sufferers. Yippee. ;-/
