I am getting acute back pain at night, every night along with bloating and wind. It eases when been to toilet a few times in morn. Is it IBS

The back pain is so severe I cannot sleep or move much but it eases after going to toilet and so does my tummy.

The best thing to do is to go to your doctor with your symptoms so they can discuss them with you and possibly rule out anything else. But equally you might not have ibs. Some people have symptoms say in the morning for example but it doesn't mean you have a bowel condition. It is always worth just to see your GP though just to be sure and get the help needed, if needed. Do you have frequent diarohea or constipation? If not it's probably not ibs.

Wishing you well.

I experienced frequent diarrhea and constipation. Probably, more than five times a year. The above problem happened to me numerous times but without the back pain.

The only person who can really diagnose you is a doctor. Five times a year doesn't really sound like ibs, if it is I would say it's mild but you should get it checked out anyway. I have really bad ibs and I'm lucky if I can go a week without a flare up. Hope you get it sorted.

I have a condition called S.O.D. dysfunction, look it up and see if it sounds like you, especially if you have had your gallbladder out!

Take Buscopan. It helps

[Hidden in reply to sapiens42]

I think that depends on how server your ibs is. I have had it before and it has done nothing for me but it's worth a try I suppose.

I just got winded 2 times today.A friend of mine hit me with a football right on my breathing point.It felt very weird temporary loss of breath. Then in a basketball match I got elbowed on my breathing point really hard.I went out crying when my P.E.teacher told me I got winded. It was hard to move and I coughed a lot.I had a temporary asthma.
