I'm curious if anyone ibs wakes them up in the early mornings. My ibs wakes me up between 4-5am every morning. It is such a pain in the neck. I am so tired, and all I want to do is sleep. However, my bowels won't let me. I usually wake up with bad gas pains, after 20-30 mins or so I'll have a bm. Then another and another for about two hrs(unlessI have a really bad attack)then my stomach calms down, By that time I can't go back to sleep, and I'm exhausted the rest of the day. How can I possibly go this much when I didn't eat yet? I'm curious to know if this is unusual or common. Based on what I read on this BB most people seem to have their attacks after eating.ThanksVicki
