    I was talking to my current gastroenterologist today during a follow-up phone appointment. She believes I have IBS-C, though for most of this year I have been having episodes of needing to go urgently, especially when commuting to and from work, to the point where I've worked from home out of...

I have had IBS-D for many years and have always struggled with traveling and especially getting caught in traffic with no access to a restroom.

    Hi all, I am a 23-year-old male. My symptoms began in December 2017, and have changed somewhat in the past 5 months. At present, these are my symptoms: My anus frequently becomes moist, especially (but not always) when holding gas or bowel movements, soon after eating, or even while eating...

  7. Leaky Gas (LG) / Incontinence / Odor
    In the last two weaks I've had less problems with uncontrollable flatus, possibly because I had less social obligations. Other symptoms have been bothering me however: - strange wet sensation in my anus occasionally - increased itching in my anus - increased urgency I guess the first two...
  8. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    Hello. I'm new to this board so bare with me. I was diagnosed with IBS when I was 22. I'm now 36. I took bentyl for years and it worked. I was able to come off the meds when I decided to get pregnant and haven't taken them since. I've hada few dlares but they were related to stomach bugs or...
  9. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    2015 - I had an ovary removed through laparoscopy with 5 abdominal incisions. Afterwards, I nursed my digestive system as well as I could. Two months after surgery, I noticed what appeared to be steatorrhea, leakage and complications with that. The more debilitating symptoms of this are nearly...
  10. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    First time here, looking for a bit of advice. I have had IBS for about six years now; daily diarrhea, cramping, urgency, etc. Normally I manage it with diet and up to eight Imodium per day. This week I have been experiencing a very bad bout with super watery stool, very painful cramping, and...

    All my life I've been accustomed to a BM every few days. I've never been really regular and it was probably due to a not so healthy diet. Over the last few years I've been working hard on eating right, and being healthier. Since April/May I've noticed that I've started to have a BM every morning...

    I am 16 and today was a taster day for the college that I'm starting in September. When I first woke up I had heart burn (which normally happens when my IBS begins to flare up) however I ignored it and hoped it would go away I traveled to the college but then after an hour the pain became...

    I suffer from bladder heavyness, weak urinary stream, muffled (but frequent) urge to pee. Also rectal pressure, sometimes lower back pain. Considering the bowel movements and urinating are controlled by pelvic floor muscles, maybe we have some pelvic floor dysfunction or tight pelvic muscles?

    Hello All! This is my first time to post in the forum. I'm really glad I found this site a few weeks ago. It's been comforting to know I'm not alone. While driving (moving) to Seattle from Kansas City, my grandmother had a stroke. I began having anxiety and diarrhea (especially in the morning)...

    Hi there, I'm a 23 year old female, and I absolutely cannot tolerate any amount of caffeine, and never have been able to. I only ever have coffee when I'm studying for big exams, but every single time, without a single exception, the same thing happens: I wait until it's cool enough to just...

    Hello, I have been suffering from mild IBS throughout most of my life. I am 29 years old. Recently I had intense food poisoning. This included intense vomiting as well as diarrhea. It would be safe to say that my entire system was cleaned out. Once I began feeling better I began to eat again...

    I don't believe that IBS-D, IBS-C, and IBS-A/M covers everyone that's been diagnosed with IBS. There needs to be a category called IBS-U, as in urgency. I was diagnosed with IBS approx 19 years ago. At that point, I had some mixed diarrhea with a lot of urgency. The physician quickly...
