Are these Ibs symptons
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi again,
Thanks to everyone for all tour replies.
it seems like my symptons are getting worse.
as i mentioned previosly i have a sigmoid flexology set for 23rd decemeber.
i wanted to check in to see if the followong symptons anyone else has with Ibs.
to be honest, i dont see how it could be ibs, given ive been fine for 35 years and all symptons have started in the last 6 months to a year.
but out of every possible thing im hoping it is ibs.
1.i now dread eating because without fail within 30-60 mins i need to have a bowl movement. i find that i have a bowl movement everytime i eat now.
2.lots if mucus in stool
3.if it is hard/ish its that dreaded ribbon type you see if you google it.
i live in hope that these three things are ibs symptons.
So would love to hear from someone who has these symptons.

These symptoms are common with IBS. IBS can stay dormant for years but resurface suddenly with out warning in response to stress or food. Have you tried a food diary since you are having bowel movements shortly after eating? Have you had any recent stress?Everyone is different with IBS. For me food does not affect me but stress does. Try to stay calm because worry can aggravate your symptoms.

Hi Dean,I have IBS-D, Sounds like IBS to me, I have flares of IBS especially under stress,otherwise it's on and off. At this time,I am in a very stressful time in my life,and I have it almost after every meal,and yes its usually right within an hour of eating a meal. Try not to worry too much,it only makes it worse.

Thank you so much for toy replies.
means alot to me, and has somewhat given me some reasurance .
stress has been a mega factor as we are currently buying our house, maybe this tipped me over the edge, then on top i have been getting worsening symptons and thats adding to the stress. hopefully its all just one big vicious circle and nothing sinister is going on.
