Hi guys. I think I have IBS, I very rarely go toilet, I feel bloated, passing wind a lot, burping, back ache, headaches, I have had mucus before too. My question is, could ibs cause me EXTREME fatigue? My doc has diagnosed chronic fatigue syndrome. I’m 23 Male and a regular gym goer. Could my IBS flares be causing this? To the point where walking around for 20 minutes makes me want to fall asleep. I don’t really have stomach cramps but I have done a few times, I know that not every one gets the same symptoms. 

I’ve not been toilet for 3 days now, that’s 3 days of big meals still in my stomach, surely that could cause extreme fatigue and tiredness and malaise?

    hi Dan I had the same problems when I first got IBS and it was mild to. I'm only 16 as well. Anyway for the last 20 hours I've been having darker stools and I don't know why could that be to do with the stuff I've eaten. I don't have any other symptoms though. Asking everyone.
