Hi

For the past week or so, I have been getting bad headaches especially in the mornings, I am wondering if this also part and parcel of the dreadful IBS experience? Anyone else have same problem? Cheers Dd.

    Hmm, shouldn't be, pain in bowel, stomach, over hips, indigestion, acid reflux but normally not headaches not to my mind. I'd maybe have your eyes checked or speak to your doctor. May be stress related?

    Hi, if you get a lot of diarrea with your ibs, that can cause a bit of dehydration which will give you headaces. drinking more fluids &treating with ordinary paracetomol or cocodomol if very bad will combat this.
