the last two weeks have been getting worse.
had to have a day off work last week as i just couldnt pull myself away from my bathroom.
i have a new problem now, i go 2-3 days without passing and then on the 3-4th day it will be terrible, really bad ds.
Also having the same problem today and wishing that i wasnt at work as very embarassed that i have to keep rushing back and forth to the toilet :D
Visited a new doctor who was really nice and actually listened to me ( unlike other doctors in the past who have even told me that i was over exagerating !!!!!) , she suggested i take another spasmodic which i was hesitant to do but she said just to take them when i feel i need them and also she has reffered me to a dietician to see if we can work out if any foods are effecting me at all.. so fingers crossed.
Has anyone taken spasmonal and have any advice on it ?
She has also suggested that worring will not help but not sure how to stop that really as its a Vicious circle ..
But to be honest ( not that i want to be too negative ) but i just feel that im still not going to get anywhere , it just seems to be getting worse and worse , its stopping me from doing more and more things and its just dragging me down, it drains all my happiness when all i do is spend all my days worring when will be the next time itll happen, which is usually every day anyway ...
Will i ever find anything that will work ???

A lot of times with people who alternate keeping from having the 3 days of constipation is the key. It may be worth trying a low dose of an osmotic laxative (like 250-400 mgs of magnesium oxide which is a low dose compared to taking Milk of Magnesisa, etc. as a laxative) and see if that keeps things going.
For some people they can find an amount of fiber that keeps things moving. The problem is you back up then "flush" and that over cleans you out setting up for another bout of constipation. The thing that seems to trigger the cycle is the constipation, at least for most people. It feels like you should treat the diarrhea to a lot of people, but it is the constipation have of the cycle that often needs to be broken.

That's the pattern my IBS started with. I would try drinking a lot of soda and coffee to make myself go. Maybe that will help you? I still make sure to have some soda in the evening because now that I take Immodium everyday, I need to make sure I still go!
