IBS? Starts soft and easy to pass but ends mushy
Posted , 2 users are following.
I came across this forum and kind of relieved to read about different people's experiences which are similar.
Short story and and would appreciate feedback on my situation.
I dont exactly know if I have IBS but upon checking other more serious symptoms (blood, mucus, constant cramps/pain)...i dont have those so i think thats a good thing and lend me to believe i may have IBS.
My bowel movements are quite regular (daily or every 2 days). I find it really helpful when i drink 2/3 glass of warm water right in the morning when i wake up and quite quickly after i pass quite a good volume of gas and sometimes you can hear audible stomach growling. the warm water somewhat serves as a trigger to help me activate and go to washroom.
Main point: when i go to the washroom, it often starts soft and pass quite easily but then the second half of it, it goes all mushy, diarrhoea like (just rushes out , not pure liquid but very soft mush). the stool is like a mix and gets me worried that i cant seem to pass solid consistently ...the stool is often a bowl of brown mush in the end. sometimes even after passing, my stomach/tummy still growls with very very subtle cramp like you might have some leftover.
sorry for the long post.
kind of worried...does it sound normal?

hi ang, i think you have just exactly described IBS! i was originally diagnosed with this but i am actually coeliac, you check with people on here, this is IBS. oh just a word of advice - stop having warm water or as much each day, it might help or less at least!
