Hello! I am so happy to find this site. I have had severe cramping,bloating, and seldom have BM's. I thought I was crazy until I learned of IBS. I have never had the D part of it. I just have the constipation. I also have occasional bleeding from back there when I can't pass a movement. When that does happen, it's scary. Is that a symptom as well?I don't mean to be crude, but it can fill the bowl at times. I think I may have to go see a specific kind of doctor. Is it normal for the bloating to appear as though you are 4 months pregnant? I have so many questions!I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you for letting me discuss such personal information.

Any bleeding should be told to your doctor, it's not always serious, but you should tell your family doctor, he can refer you to a specialist if needed. My brother is going through this right now, he is going for his colonoscopy Tuesday. Bloading is normal for me too, I always look pregnant..lol...I have IBS "D" type. Good Luck and call your doctor.

Angelita, you need to be diagnosed for IBS from a doctor, so they can rule out anything else that could be serious and mimick the IBS symptoms.Bleeding can be from Hemorrhoids or a fissure or something, but you need to be diagnosed and see a doctor its very important.------------------Moderator of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Anxiety and Hypnotherapy forumI work with Mike and the IBS Audio Program. www.ibshealth.com www.ibsaudioprogram.com
