Has anyone had green stools before with IBS?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi,

I was diagnosed with IBS about 3/4 year ago. I get the usual flare up like anyone does and normally i can deal with it but for over a month now Ive had constant bloating, feeling sick(if i have a flare up i usually feel sick) sometimes stomach cramps and sometimes passing wind alot, churning feeling in stomach, not wanting to eat much due to feeling sick, usually having loose stools 3/4 times in the morning but ive noticed ive been having green stools but not all the time but just the odd time since ive had this really bad flare up and just wanted to know if anyone else has had this with ibs and have they had a flare up that lasted long before?

thanks

    keep a food diary to see what triggers the loose stools and green stools. It maybe you have a food intolerance which could be causing your symptoms. Try kefir yoghurt drink every day, it really can help with bloating and pain. If that doesn't help ask your doctor for alverine it is the best tablet I have tried for ibs symptoms.
