Ibs pain/lethargic?

3 Replies

When I get my ibs pains, I feel so drained all of a sudden. It makes me feel so tired and just no energy and this is before I even go to the toilet. But funny enough once I do have a bowel movement I feel more energetic and obviously alot better. Does anybody else suffer with tiredness with ibs pain?

I feel tired after I have an IBS-D attack but can recover within a couple of hours.I do feel weary if I get a wind pain that takes its time to disperse Everyone is different. By the way have you been clinically diagnosed with IBS?

Yes i have noticed when i am having bad IBS C or bloating i feel lathargic and tired. I lose my get up and go and my energy and drive dissapear. I feel sluggish and low in mood when I am having an attack which can last days or weeks. It is very dibilitating and frustrating.
