Toilet Problems
Posted , 4 users are following.
A bit of an embarrasing subject, but I'm hoping someone has an idea of what's going on.
After doing a number two at the toilet, on rare occasions maybe 2-3 times a month, I will experience incredible sharp pain on the inside of my anus. Usually only lasts 5-10 minutes, but it's so painful it often brings me to tears. I have been diagnosed with IBS, and I have had a colonoscopy after a particularly bad episode of these pains, and they found nothing.
I'm 31, very fit, and have been on a low fodmap diet for about 3 months now, but I'm still getting this pain on occasion... Any ideas?

Since going on the fodmap, I've had little to no gut pain or bloating, so it has helped in that regard. But I still get constipation on occasion. The weird thing about this pain is it happens when everything is going normally. I'll have a normal bowel movement, and still get the pain afterwards.

Regarding the intense pain you have, feels like it's literally at the centre? I've had this for years, like you i get attacks about 2-3 times a month. It makes me arch my back in pain when it happens and then 10 mins later it vanishes. I had a barrium enema years ago and they diagnosed it as Proctalgia fugax. I've since been diagnosed with IBS too, triggered mainly by anxiety.
