What is the different between ibs and bowel obstruction

I have nausea 24/7 , Constipation , difficulties passing gas, bloating

I could pass gas and stool but it is so so difficult i also have endometriosis and i read that endometriosis cause bowel obstruction and also ibs

It you suspect bowel obstruction, it's important to get this diagnosed right away x-ray, rectal exam, etc. You may have a partial bowel obstruction, since you can pass some gas, and a little stool. IBS..depending if it's IBS-C, or IBS-D, you can pass gas, loose stools, cramping, bloating, and have bowel movements, fatigue, etc. Have you had any tests done such as a Colonoscopy to see if you do have IBS? Do you have a Gastroenterologist? It would be important to schedule a visit. However, a bowel obstruction is very serious, and probably, a trip to ER. Keep us posted.

I did a little research for you, here is what I found: hope this helps:

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic, or ongoing, condition that is noninflammatory. While it’s often compared with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease, IBS is different. It only affects the colon. IBS also doesn’t destroy your tissues.

Despite these key differences, IBS can still be a problem because of its symptoms. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic, as many as 1 in 5 adults in the United States experience them. Nausea is associated with this condition. Symptoms can come and go. When they do occur, they can greatly affect quality of your life.

You can manage IBS with a combination of medical treatments and lifestyle changes, but it requires lifelong management. When it comes to nausea, it’s also important to determine whether it is a co-occurring symptom of IBS, or if it’s related to something else.

Causes of IBS Nausea

IBS doesn’t have one single cause. According to the Mayo Clinic, the main factors include:

stronger intestinal contractions during normal digestive changes

acute gastrointestinal disease

abnormalities within the gastrointestinal system

abnormal signals between your intestines and brain

Despite the variety of causes of IBS, many people are more concerned with the symptoms that often disrupt their quality of life. There’s no single cause of IBS-related nausea, but it’s indeed prevalent among patients. According to Dr. Lin Chang, medical doctor and professor at UCLA, one of her 2014 studies found that IBS-related nausea affects about 38 percent of women and 27 percent of men. Hormonal changes are an issue for women who have IBS, and IBS affects mostly women, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Nausea in people who have IBS is often related to other common symptoms like fullness, abdominal pain, and bloating after eating. While not always the case, IBS nausea can occur most often after certain foods trigger your symptoms.

Certain medications, such as the IBS drug lubiprostone, can also increase your risk of nausea. Other non-IBS drugs you may take from can also cause nausea:

antibiotics

antidepressants

aspirin

narcotics

non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen

birth control pills

Other Causes

While nausea can occur with IBS, your doctor may consider other causes if you don’t exhibit any common IBS symptoms. Furthermore, your nausea can be related to other conditions you might have, such as:

gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

occasional heartburn

migraines

functional dyspepsia

You should see your doctor immediately if you have sudden weight loss and rectal bleeding .These can be signs of a more serious condition, such as colon cancer. You should also see your doctor immediately if you have:

a high fever

chest pain

blurry vision

fainting

Thank you very much for providing the valuable information ❤️

An X-ray would confirm an obstruction for you. I had a partial one a couple years ago and it was extremely painful to the point I couldn’t walk but it took them 3 months to find out it was there 😩
