Hi there, I am hoping somebody can shed light on this. I was told by my doctor that I have IBS. I suffer from anxiety disorder which is all centered around illness fears... my bowel movements are not the problem Amen to that. I usually only go to the bathroom once a day and it is in the morning after breakfast unless i am having a period of IBS, then I need to jump out of bed and GOOOO immediatly. that is usually it for the day.... so my question with IBS is that my problem is a constant ache in my abdomen that can last a week or two at a time ( some days include bloating and gas )? IS this normal with IBS...then it will vanish for weeks or months.... but when i have it, it scares me because i feel like my insides are about to fall out....

    hi ginawolf, i think you probably got ibs, do you know if this worsens when you are stressed or have lots of things on? you could try to write down when this is happening and then show your doctor. good luck, see your doctor at some point, ask for more tests explain all your symptoms and paint this as a really bad day.
