HiI was wondering if anyone would like to reply to this or have any comments to make. I have had IBS now for about 16 years. I had a colonoscopy 5 yrs ago which came back saying I had a sensitive bowel and one 5 yrs before that which came back clear.My symptoms are gas noises and rumbles, running to the loo a lot sometimes 5 and 6 times a day which doesnt happen on all days and awful back ache and abdomen pain. I sometimes take gastro stop which does slow things down. I seem to have had this particular bout now for about 15 months with only short periods when it eases up then comes back in again. I do like a drink socially and am wondering if beer is keeping my bowel upset. Does anyone else have similar symptoms. I do get worried that it could be something more serious do you think I should ask for another colonoscopy or do you think its IBS accept it and get on with my life. I dont pass blood and last year sent off a stool sample which came back clear of any occult blood.Hope to hear from someone, thanks, Ricardo
