Hello, I'm posting to discuss some problems I've been having lately that I'm struggling to deal with, and would love any feedback/advice!I've suffered from predominantly IBS D for about 7 years, but recently I have been having spells of constipation which I am pretty unfamiliar with. I'm not sure how to address this as I don't want to cause an attack of the other extreme, but, for example, I have been going for 5 days with no bowel movements (even after being reckless and drinking beer and eating spicy food which I never normally do for fear of disaster!) when previously I would have said 2/3 a day were normal for me.I can't think of any significant changes to my diet or lifestyle that would have caused this change, so am a little perplexed.On the other hand, after these spells of constipation, I am getting quite significant IBS D attacks, the worst being one that kept me awake between 1-7am as it was so painful and severe. Since that I have adopted a diet high in soluble fibre and have cut out all trigger foods, but now no bowel movements!! I can't seem to find a balance and it's starting to get to me.plus, I seem to be getting an unpleasant hunger/nausea feeling in my stomach almost constantly, which isn't bad enough to stop me eating, but is very annoying! Could this be down to too much acid? Any advice would be really appreciated! I'd love to start getting my IBS in hand again.
