Different symptoms since last post. Anyone have this?

Symptoms have changed since last post, does this still sound like IBS?

What I’m experiencing now, is the following:

-Changed bowel movements. For a few days everything was normal again! I was so excited. For the past day it’s been light bowel movements with some mucus (didn’t have that before). I wouldn’t call it diarrhea, but it’s definitely not solid either. I still have intermittent abdominal discomfort (comes and goes, never overly painful, I’d say a 3 or 4 on a scale of 1-10)

-Gas/ stomach bubbling/rumbling (also has calmed in the last week or so

-some pain in anus area? Hard to describe but it is very random, lasts about 5 seconds and it’s gone again. (Newer symptom but seems to also be improving)

Anyone experience this kind of stuff before?

Very similar to my symptoms. I have gone gluten free it took a couple of months but I've been well for over a year now 😊

I will stick with it then if it took a couple of months. Not very patient. Hope you stay well

Sounds like typical ibs.

The pain in anus area could be piles, you might get them checked and the doc can help you sort them.

Eat healthy food and it will help. My ibs doesn't really bother me anymore these days.

Sounds all too familiar!

As jimmyjimmy says a pain in the anus could be piles. I have that too.

Have you visited a gp with any of these symptoms? It does sound like ibs but it’s obviously best to have it looked at and confirmed by a medical professional :)

I have went a couple times. Both doctors I have spoken to don’t seem to think it’s anything really bad. My bowel movements have normalized, the pain isn’t too terrible, it seems like it’s different symptoms on a day to day basis. Most have improved. Not sure what to think!

Not what you're looking for?
