I'm going to try and keep this short and sweet,

Basically Ive problems with Both my stomach and my bowels, 1 I can't pass stools although they are soft (I have to help my self constantly) and constantly feel the need to pass stools, do get the odd abdominal cramps on the left bottom sode of my abdomen. What I am worrying about now is, in December I had a random onset of complete loss of appetite and feeling naucious after eating, doctor said this was due to constipation and prescribed me laxido, these seemed to work 11 weeks later symptoms returned, yet laxatives made the problems considerably worse and since then I have not been able to pass stools just with normal pushing since. Coming away from that my loss of appetite and stomach burning has returned except it's getting worse as time goes on, for the past few weeks every time I eat or drink I am burping considerable amounts, always getting nauseous and sometimes stomach pains, if I eat a substantial meal and sometimes having a big drink (I only drink water recently) then within 2 minutes Getting the symptoms I get every time I eat/ drink but 5/10 minutes I'm feeling sick and a burp will usually bring back food,(this has only happened a handful of times over this course of having symptoms) if I'm near a toilet I run for it and I will vomit but only liquids and sometimes Abit of food, for the past few days it also constantly feel like a weigh is I my stomach.

I am awaiting a letter to see a specialist, just thinking if this does sound like ibs if anyone has has ibs cause them to be vomiting continuously after food/drink?

My parents are wanting me to look at going to A&E tomorrow if the vomiting happens again as this will be the 4th day in a row! But I don't want to do this if others have had ibs cause this

So it's not so short but I greatly apriciate any responses

    I was told for much of my younger years I had IBS and when I reached 50 I had my first colonstomy and was told I had diverticulitis.. So it had to have devloped over time and nothing was done except to be told to eat more fiber. I do wish more research was done for these problems.

      I don't feel like I have ibs mearly the reason that for months I have not been able to pass stools natrualy, if I had just cramps/ bloating ect then I would probably agree with them😂 I'm hoping this referal includes more tests!

      I hope it is just a simple fix. Glad you are getting tests done.
