Currently having the worst flare up ever. It started yesterday morning with urgency and then feeling constantly bloated and like I need to go all the time even though I did a fairly normal BM when I got up.
Every hour or so I manage to blow a painful blob out (sorry, tmi) but the horrible feeling never stops. My bottom is so sore.....It was one of those nights when my sleep is disturbed by a constantly churning gut and today it feels even worse. It feels like if I could just do a BM it would all resolve - but I did one earlier and nothing's changed! It makes me feel nauseous and exhausted.
I take fexofenadine for hayfever (which starts in Feb), and so I don't think I can take Buscopan with it - but actually Buscopan isn't very effective anyway. Just want rid of this constant urge to "go"properly! Totally fed up.

Oh I've been through this - always worse around my period. This idea may sound a bit strange but it's always worked for me, try a small mug of hot water with a lot of sugar in it, at least four tablespoons, yes tablespoons! (I know, ridiculously sweet!) but it does work, I always felt better within an hour and everything just seems to calm down and you should have a relatively normal bowel movement the same day. I hope you feel better soon.
That's a new one! Thank you for the tip. My situation is a bit complicated in that I have pelvic floor dysfunction and so I take a Movicol every night. Sometimes having a BM makes me feel worse - and at the moment it's horrendous. As soon a s I've been, the gurgling and bloating starts all over again!
hi Binks. I suffered for years with my gallbladder & IBS - C. Bloating, severe pain, stomach & intestines constantly full of air, gurgling etc. Constantly using glycerine suppositories and Buscopan in order to have BM. Had my gallbladder out early Jan & nothing changed. Was so disappointed. I noticed it kicked off every time I had a cup of tea. Went to decaff over a week ago & pain, constipation, bloating all gone! Its early days I know but could be something as simple as that. Hope you feel better soon xx
That's something to think about. I have a coffee machine and I drink 3 strong black coffees a day. I'm going to get some decaf and give that a try. I don't drink tea because I just don't like it. I'll let you know.
