Ibs-c
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello,
Over the past 7/8 months i have slowly been developing some constipation issues. I have always been regular and never had any issues like this until around October last year.
I have been back and forth to my gp and all I was ever recommended and prescribed was laxatives and buscopan. The past few months this has got worse and my gp has mentioned is does sound ibs related but its always constipation and never anything else.
I have tried to stay away from as many wheat products as possible even though im not celiac and eating mote vegetables and a healthier diet. drinking more water etc... but nothing really seems to make a difference. I seem to have stomach ache everyday, sometimes its above my bellybutton and other times its lower.
I do have brief periods of relief but I've never really been able to find a trigger for what is setting my symptoms off.
I do have an appointment coming up from gastro so im waiting to see what happens there but I just feel like im alone with this! Does anyone else share similar symptoms??
Im 25 if that helps.
thanks!

hi lily, SNAP! not many people write on here about ibsc. it's exactly what i have but at 48 i'm almost twice your age. buscopan is ONLY, it doesn't speed up the bowel, so it is easier to go. you need a second opinion, an endoscopy, to rule out if it's anything else and possibly a suppository, which only today i have prescribed. my bowel is in agony today. i wish you luck, just feedjng you buscopan won't deal with the underlying cause.
