is these systems related to ibs ?

[Raneena]

Hi

10 days ago I’m suffering from pain starts in the lower abdomen and then all over my tummy. most of the time I feel I want to poop even my bowel is empty.

I have ibs years ago but this symptom is new for me I want to ask does ibs causes this ? Does anyone have the same symptoms?

Thank you.

Hi Raneena,I had very similar symptoms when my IBS started 5 years ago. Heaviness in stomach, constant abdominal pain, feeling like I want to empty my bowels etc. I'm sorry to say that I didn't find an immediate cure to this. I changed my diet to include fruits, vegetables and probiotics, splitting my food into 5 small meals, exercising and drinking 3L of water etc. which gradually reduced those symptoms over a period of a year. Although I still have other IBS symptoms which haven't been cured yet.

It's possible that your condition improves quickly, and not take such a long time like it did for me. All strength to you! Good luck and hope you feel better

Any change in symptoms should really be discussed with your GP. They may want to re run some tests.

Hi Raneena my advice is to make an appointment with your GP

Hi Raneena, I've had ibs c for at least 30 years. I use to get this feeling I needed to empty my bowels even if I'd just been. I put it down constipation for me, it could be spasms making you feel like this. Over the years I've improved the constipation with diet. Eating more fruits vegetables. I've recently started drinking hibiscus tea. Its a light laxative and its definitely helping me with constipation, but if you do try it do research it as with some people it react on some health issues. One being diabetes and high BP. I've had no issues so far with my BP. If your problem carries on I would see you doctor.

You have Tenesmus, this is the feeling that you need to pass stools, even though your bowels are already empty. It is common in people with both IBS and IBD (I have both). It does come and go, so maybe an overhaul of your diet may well help. But in the first instance I would see your GP as they can make some suggestions.

These symptoms do sound like they could be IBS related. However, I would urge you to seek medical advice, in order to find out for sure what it is.
