My joints are always stiff and painful and sometimes my bones threaten to slide out of their sockets.  I also am constantly suffering from ibs; nausea, gas, cramping, constipation, diarrhea, etc.  My friend said that she heard of a disease that causes both of these seemingly unrelated problems and she thinks that I have it.  Is there such a disease and if so what is it called?  What would be your suggestion? Eamon
