Hi, 

I’m really sorry to go into this but for a good year and a half now I have been having a few problems. 

Firstly I’m not a regular goer when it comes to emptying my bowels!

When I do go it can sometimes be painful. 

Then other weeks I can be sat watching TV comepletely fine and next have griping pains and have a 3 - 4 bouts of runny stools over an hours period.

Is this symptoms of IBS??  

Please help

    Hi Louise

    It could be IBS and then again it could be a number of things. I had problems similar to yours and I found that a good colon clense tablet really helped. Have a look on Amazon and find what suits your symptoms.

    It might be IBS but see your doctor to get this confirmed with tests.

    Thank you! 

    I tend to find I have the bout of runny stools which usually lasts an hour then I have griping pains and wind for a good couple of hours later! 

    It feels like my bowels need emptying again but it is only bad wind.

      I used to get really bad stomach cramps and struggled to go to the toilet at times but like I said the colon clense tablets helped a lot and now I don't get the stomach cramps

      Hi, 

      What do the tablets do and do u take them regularly? 

      I’m sorry to ask this and please feel free to tell me to mind my own business but did u have constipation and soft stools? I tend to find I go to the toilet once every 4 days - some times the stool is solid and normal but every couple of weeks I suddenly need to go to toilet and it’s soft and I seem to go about 4 times in an hour - then it’s stops again! 

      Would this be something the tablets help with?

      Hi Louise. Basically I used to get the runs one day and constipation the next. I put the stomach cramps down to not being able to go to the toilet regularly. The colon clense enabled me to go to the toilet on a regular basis and sorted out the stomach cramps. The doctor told me there harmless and I have to say the changed my life for the better.

      I have IBS but my bowel has settled down and so I have my abdominal pains.  The only trouble I have just now is acid reflux

    Hi Louise.

    Your symptoms sound as though you could have ibs. but they could be caused by other bowel disorders. Have you seen your doctor? If not why not go and get a proper diagnosis. If he/she cannot give you a reason for your symptoms ask to see a astrological.
