IBS and periods

[Laxmik]

Hey just wanted to ask all women. Does your IBS pain increase during your periods. My motion is normal but having more pain then usual since my period started. Would appreciate some feed back.

Yes my cramps can get worse during my period. There's a link between oestrogen and your bowels. Read this irritablebowelsyndrome.net/...

Thanks.

Yes. I don’t have periods anymore but when I did, I also had an IBS flare up at the same time.

Thanks for your reply. Mine is not a full blown flare up as motion is normal. Just pain. And the pain is still there two days after my periods have come to an end. Though very minimum now. I shld mention I do suffer from pcos also.

Yes my IBS is always back on the week of my period, especially the first few days.
