Hi all,

I am female 34 years old and recently have been noticing symptoms that I believe are IBS. Now I think about it I have probably had many of the symptoms mildly for some time.

I always wake up feeling a bit uneasy in the tummy and have never been ae to stomach breakfast until 10am or so despite getting up at 7am.

The main thing I am noticing that is new is a tightening feeling in my colon area and it feels tight amd bloated. Is that a common thing with IBS?

    Hi Mel, this sounds like ibs but it could have got worse is my guess. I am awaiting a scan myself as I had a similar problem a few weeks ago and ended up in hospital. Don't do that, it's rubbish! See your doctor and explain the difference mine was so painful it bought me to my knees!
