I was just recently diagnosed with ibs. Sometimes I wont have a BM for 2-3 days and then itll usually be diarrhea or loose stools, sometimes I'll have loose stools a few days in a row. The gas pains and pains sometimes before a BM is horrible! how do you deal with this? Is there anything you take?Since I am new to all this I was just wanting advice and see if anyone else has similar problems. I almost hate to go anywhere!

I get this way so you are not alone. I am suffering from a urinary track infection right now and having IBS symptoms with this is putting me through hell with dealing with both. I'm constipated today and feel like I need to go all the time. Even the straining that I do all the time isn't helping. The more I strain it is making my infection and bladder hurt more.I'm sure to explode with D very soon I hope. I'll feel so much better and it might even blow out this infection out of me. Who knows.

Have you talked to your doctor?Sounds typical of IBS, but good to get other things ruled out.If you look under the "Manage" menu up at the top we have a list of all the medications that can be used and other information.
