Just wondering if anyone else suffering with ibs has a problem with having to urinate frequently?? In the past month my ibs has flared up and at the same time im finding im peeing loads!! Was going to mention it to my gp nxt time i see him but was curious if anyone else has the same problem. Ive tested my pee so i know it isnt a urine infection and i havent got diabetes. Its starting to be a bother now!!

There is something called "over active bladder" that is kind of like IBS but with urine (the bladder over-responds to low to moderate fill levels the way the rectum can over-react to low to moderate fill levels)

The bladder issues are treated with drugs similar to the antispasmodics used for IBS. Seems a lot of people have both, but not sure if more than by chance alone.

I get this as well, and my bladder frequently feels like it hasn't fully emptied.

I have to urinate all the time as well...but it does feel like I do go a large amount when I do though. And sometimes I haven't even drank that much before hand.

Funny I got to read this. I've had frequent urination since childhood (with very bad episodes). I wake up early in the morning or during night just to go piss...I cannot go anywhere unless I go piss first, even before going to bed...it is not always a lot, just a bit but I still have to go. As I said, it's been with me since...well...I was 2 LOL...am not sure what it means if it hits you at adulthood...but for me right now it's just the normal way of things. All the involved organs are very much ok and checked numerous times...it is just the way I am I guess.
