Hi,

I have some symptoms of IBS, But the doctor seems unhappy to check for it.

I have suffered with what can only be described as Panic Poos, Minutes after eating I need the Loo, Like right now.

At this time I have lower right abdominal discomfort going down to right testical, upset tummy ranging from Rabbit droppings to brown water. Also weight loss.

I have blood test tomorrow and the doctor is looking to do a prostate exam, I have asked about IBS but again Doctor seems keen to ignore me.

One doctor has suggested I have an anxiety or stress issue.

Can anyone help or advice, Are these symptoms experienced by anyone else.

I also suffer with Mitral Valve Prolapse.

Thank you in advance

Hi mark
I too "think" I have ibs. Do you have anxiety? I think it is a huge reason for ibs. If so try a prescription anxiety drug or L-Theanine from health food store. Since you have to go right after eating you may want to try Tums or Imodium before you eat. I'm No doctor just some suggestions. Good luck

I am just about to start counselling for relaxation techniques etc.

I take the cheaper form of Imodium, Just standard loperamide tablets.

The doctor is testing me for Celiac but is still not listening to my symptoms and that I think I may have IBS.

We are due to drive down the west coast of america in the next few months so I would like to get something sorted other than just blocking myself up,.

I will look up the L-Theanine

Thank you,

Was not sure anyone would reply
