Do I Have IBS?
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi. I am currently an 19 year old college student. For the past month or two, I have been dealing with on and off constipation, but I never really thought much of it because I was still having BM and the stool appeared normal. The past 2 weeks has been different. I can only seem to have a BM after exercising and drinking lots of water. The stool seems to be soft, and disintegrates upon flushing. On days where I don't exercise, I don't have a BM or its very small, thin stools. This had caused me to worry, and I'm wondering if that has something to do with the reduced amount of BM. I also have been eating lots of fiber and avoiding foods that often cause constipation, but it is not seeming to help. Does this sound like normal symptoms of IBS?

Have you got a doctor at uni Nick. You sound very much like you're describing IBS to a t, ask for an appointment, IBS can be brought on by excess stress. Good luck.
