Just wondering.

Well funnily enough, mine actually improves during this time, I'm not sure if it because my mind is aware of the cramps there instead and therefore doesn't even think about the IBS cramps. I don't know if I could cope with things as well as I do if it was worse, as I always feel so disgusting around that time anyway.

My symptoms get worse right before my period starts, and then as it is ending.Hormones seem to have a big effect on IBS.Jeanne

Mine get much worse when I have my period. The cramping of menstruation combined with stomach cramps/bowel spasms is not a fun mix! I also find that I have to go more during the first few days of my period.

I always had D before and during my period.Since I had my hysterectomy, all of my IBS symptoms and lots of other symptoms have become far worse.
