I've noticed that in the mornings especially I have a lot of gas, but this is also the time when my IBS is usually at its worst (not always though). Sometimes I can't tell if it's just gas or of I have to go to the bathroom... so I find myself going to the restroom about 5 times in the morning, even though I actually only go about 2 times! I can't tell the difference because gas pain causes me just as much discomfort as BM pain. And also, sometimes the gas gets trapped between having BMs... this is really odd to me, is this normal for IBS? Honestly, gas pain is one of my biggest discomforts!

The same thing happens to me! My IBS is worse in the morning. The gas pain and cramps will make me feel like I have to go number two so I will go up and down the stairs to the bathroom just in case I have to go number two . Over and over again it turns out to be gas most of the time even though it really does feel like I have to have a bm.It's awful.I have major gas probs too. Your not alone here.

gas is a nightmare, i get a lot of gas but weird thing is it doesn't really smell, only time it would smell is if i drink alcoholget that as well where i feel like i have to take a dump but it's just a big loud watery fart that comes out when on the toilet, maybe some times a bit of mucus comes outkind of glad i don't have that FBO but IBS is still a nightmarei am now a hermit, never be out of the housei just wish i could have at least one day where i am completely normal and can go out and socialise with people without any worriesi've had to claim sickness benefit because of it
