I just wanted to let you know that I've had IBS for 6+ (well before I had the IUD inserted) and I was acutally able w/ the help of my naturopath get my IBS completely under control while I still had my IUD in. I've had my IUD out for 5 weeks now. So I'm thinking if you can find the right things or doc to help you your GI problems will probably go away. I still need to take a few items while I'm eating and I also take a probiotic once a day. Good Luck. I know there is light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to GI problems.
