Back pain

[moni85]

Hi everyone

I've been experiencing back pain lately is it a symptom of ibs?

[janke]

When my IBS is bad I get a lot of low back pain - it can make me feel quite nauseous and faint at times.

Hi, yes it is a symptom of IBS. I have been suffering with really bad lower back pain for a while now and it gets worse when my IBS is worse. My husband has a bad back and that effects his bowels so basically IBS sufferers have it the other way around. Think it can be caused by a number of things, straining, pushing out of the gut wall due to constipation, multiple bowel movements or pain receptors in the gut being overly sensitive. I find a hot water bottle & ibuprofen helps ease the pain a little but on a really bad day nothing seems to help.

Hi there, I don't get back pain but do get nausea and I take a travel sick tablet and that works for me, it may be worth a try for your nausea.

All the very best

I just use Stugeron travel sick tablets, they work for me.
