hello
My IBS seems to have flared up terribly since middle of Feb this year. I went to my GP last week and she prescribed Apercap (peppermint capsules) as the Mebeverine I had last year made my bloating feel even worse. The peppermint hasnt really helped either.
I feel like i constantly have wind stuck in my rectum and have felt like this for a full week now. Nothing is shifting it and the the peppermint is not helping either. I am now wondering if it is even wind - it passed for about five mins after a BM then comes back. I am stressed and worried it is a tumor. I tried yesterday to see if it was an incomplete bowel movement perhaps causing it so after my normal morning bowl movement and still feeling like something was stuck later on I found that after forcing and squeezing a tiny bit of poo (sorry for TMI) would come out.
I had period style cramps most of friday evening and saturday but these have calmed down now and I am just getting the sensation of low back pain and needing to go the toilet but feeling it is all blocked up and can't go
I have an appointment with a nurse practitioner later on in my practice - does anybody else have these sort of feelings or symptoms?
what medication is there than can help as I feel everything is just making me worse 
I have scared I have bowel cancer or ovarian cancer as I do get a lot of bloating too
I just feel helpless and dont know what to do
This reply won't be particularly helpful as I don't have a solution for you but you should know that you're not alone. The symptoms you describe have VERY similar to those I have on a daily basis. I'm pretty much constantly bloated, constantly burping and feel like I need to pass gas when it feels as though there is nothing moving at all (FYI, I don't think there is such thing as FMI within the IBS community.
I have been tested for pretty much everything (including undergoing an abdominal US a few years back when I was first diagnosed with IBS to make sure there was nothing more serious going on). The only thing I tested positive for was lactose intolerance. After all that, my GI slapped me with a IBS diagnosis and sent me on my way.
Have you tried the FODMAP diet? I started it a couple weeks ago on the advise of my family doctor and, although I've had varied success so far, it does seem to be helping over all. It's tough to stick to but when it works, it really works!
Hope this helped a little.
Thanks for your advice. The nurse practitiner was lovely but not a lot of help to be honest . She has said it's my IBS and probably anxiety Making it worse and has sent me for blood tests. Told me to see a GP for results :(?Had a really bad time last night and in a lot of pain with trapped wind
