For the past 2 months now, I've been experiencing some weird symptoms. In the morning I will wake up with cramps and gas as soon as I open my eyes. Then I will have to go to the bathroom. In the first month, my stool would come out firm then 30 seconds later, it would be all loose, Not diarrhea though. After I eat a big meal, about 30 minutes later, I will get cramps once again. plus the gas is worse. And I've noticed that I've been burping more frequently that usual. My cramps and gas tend to go away after I pass a bowel movement. I've also felt like I haven't fully emptied myself. Eating fatty foods have for sure made my symptoms worse. I've also noticed mucus in my stool. I've even passed mucus itself. The mucus in yellowish clear. I just need answers, because this is the most scared I've ever been in my life. Help!

    Does your pain move about or does it stay in one place?

      Nope it's usually just in my lower abdomen, similar to cramps. Then after once I pass a bm I feel much better.

      When you have pain in your lower abdomen, does your pain shift to the left, middle or right  or does it stay exclusively on any one of these areas?  Constantly shifting lower abdominal pain is a symptom of IBS.  Temporary relief of pain afer a bowel movement is also an IBS symptom.

      Could very well be IBS.  However, it is very important to see a doctor to get a diagnosis.
