Hi This is the first time I have posted. My husband suggested it. I have had IBS for a few years now and it has always been constipation, bloating and gas. I had a tummy bug about 3 months ago and it has totally changed. I have d occasionally and i always feel as though I still need to go. I passed just mucus the other day and it freaked me out it is normal? I wasn;t clear it was orangy in colour. It is really starting to get me down and depressed. The stress of trying for a baby and the possiblity of losing my job may be contributing to this episode but I can't help it. The Dr has ordered some blood becasue he said that my bowel seemed inflammed, does anyone know about these tests and what could be wrong. I can feel like a sausage shape on my lower right side, does anynoe else have this.I feel so odd and embarrased I am sick of feeling this way, this episode has lasted for about 3 months, how long do other people have episodes for? I feel quite isolated. Please helps x

Thank you so much Nick65 I really appreciate your kind words of support. You are right it does help to get things off your chest and it helps to know that you are not isolated. Again thanks x
