I think one day is OK and so nice that you don't have any unpleasant symptoms.

Enjoy the good days- good to know that you were ok for a day, that's the trouble with confirmed IBS one day nothing next day too much. You just have to learn what your pattern is write a diary that may help and if you have any symptoms out of the norm go back to your GP

Not everyone has a BM every day. If you have unpleasant symptoms like pain and bloating, you may need to go but can't - enjoy a symptom free day and try not to worry :)

I had that the other day. It was a one off & I think it was down to something I ate. Unless it becomes a regular occurrence it's probably nothing to worry about

Yes, that is fine. Sometimes it can relate to food you ate..like cocoa..or chocolate..it is only when they have blood on/in them or black and tarry, pencil thin..should be a case for concern..

You're welcome..no dumb questions at all..that (I think?) is what we all on this forum for..questions, concerns, non-judgement and support, empathy. We are all having concerns or issues. So, you are fine. ☺👍

Hi, you don't have to have a bowel movement every day. Some people can go two to three days without one and be fine. With me however, have not had one in 7 days..and possible rectal prolapse..something isn't right. Don't see a Gastro till end of August..so looks like another trip to ER..

Not what you're looking for?
