From what I have researched our central nervous system is why irritable bowel syndrome and other bowel disorders.
I read somewhere that most Fibro sufferers will have at least two other issues that either are before or after the Fibro unleashes its fury.

A person may have two or more coexisting chronic pain conditions. Such conditions can include chronic fatigue syndrome, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, inflammatory bowel disease, interstitial cystitis, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and vulvodynia.
