i'm sorry you are having a difficult time. the best thing to do is see your healthcare provider to find out what is going on. it could be ibs or something else. i also highly recommend seeing a registered dietitian who specializes in gastro-intestinal (gi) disorders if you are diagnosed with ibs or another gi condition. an rd can help you discover whether or not you have food sensitivities contributing to your symptoms. for more on this see this webmd article. the not knowing is the scary part so get the help you need. good luck!
i have had ibs like symptoms for 4 months. for past few days i’ve been uncomfortably constipated. need help! . . i have been constipated on and off for several months now. i think it could be ibs because i will have diarrhea gas and bloating as well. a few days ago though i became so constipated that it hurts so badly right now. i have used stool softeners many times but the only result is diarrhea then constipation all over again.
