hiya, im new to this board and am new to IBS. Im only 19 and up until a few months ago i was fine. Getting up whenever the alarm went off. normal bm 3 times a week etc. now i am in despair. every day i am waking up at 6am feeling sickly and with stomach cramps, i then need to go to the toilet 3/4 times the first stool is always hard and the rest is very soft/ sloppy, orangey coloured and very smelly. there is also undigested food in this stool. by about dinnertime the pain has mostly gone away and the rest of the day i am mostly fine. sometimes very moderate pain after eating tea etc. i am drastically losing weight due to not knowing what to eat etc. and am worried because i am going back to university in the next few weeks. i have had trouble with lactose for about a year but up to now i have only avoided the main lactose culprits. milk, cream etc. i am now avoiding all the lactose products. i am in dispair because if i think to the future i am desperate to be a teacher and if this continues in the morning like it is i dont think i will be able to. this is a lifelong dream of mine and i would be gutted if i found that the ibs held me back. please anyone with morning sickness symptoms who has beaten them help me. thanks a lotxxx
