But once I sit on the toilet, its often just a very small BM or just a load of wind. I work from home and often find myself doing this 10-20 times a day. The discomfort goes briefly once Ive finished on the loo but then will soon return, meaning I feel the urge to re-visit the loo.
Does anyone else suffer from this?
My mornings starts with pain in my lower left abdomen. This pain usually eases by midday, but the constant visits/urge to visit the toilet happen throughout the day. My guts are constantly gurgling.,
Please, please, please can someone suggest a medication/remedy that can help me.
I have tried buscopan but found in ineffective. Just made my stools very sticky which was surprising, as I had high hopes, as it has good reviews.
Many thanks for reading. Hope to hear from you. Any suggestions desperately welcome.

There can be various causes of it, many of which are benign, (but still troublesome) So don't be upset about the "worst case scenario" mentioned. Dr. Google loves "worst case scenarios" as we know....
As it can be caused by many different things, it's likely that the only way to find a starting place to treat it, is to discuss it with a doctor. Yes. I know that can be hard in the UK !! But do persist if you can. It must be quite hard living with this
Sounds like Tenesmus which I have bouts of. mine caused by internal haemorrhoids or prolapses which mimic need to go to the loo. Difficult to avoid straining which makes things worse. Mine resolved by banding or injections but do come back.
Hi I've never heard of Tenesmus but I have very similar symptoms although not on a daily basis & I can visit the loo 6 or 7 times with varying results. It's very uncomfortable & sometimes worse that the actual pain.
Hi Worcester25, I’ve not got much idea about IBS as I don’t suffer from it . Would something like Flaxseed help to bulk up your BM a-little so hopefully you won’t have the urge to try and go to the toilet so much . I just thought I’d mention it , being fiber though would it make your symptoms worse?.
yes I suffer the same it’s called tenesmus and there is nothing you can get for the constant urge to go it is part of my diverticulitis disease which I have been recently diagnosed with and I find soluble fibre and good probiotic helps to relieve it hope this helps and goodluck
Hi, I just got Aflorex one a day chewable probiotics of Amazon and they have helped a lot anything wroth a try give them a try and let me know how you get on
Wow I’m looking on here right now because I have the same problem right now. It will go on right up until I go to bed,then start again tomorrow.
I just happened to see your post,and you sound exactly like me it drives me mad and it’s getting worse. I really wish you the best of luck sorting it,.
I have this too. It just started about 10 days ago and following a small surgery for an inguinal hernia. But that could be coincidental.
I've been so confused and also feeling the constant pain of feeling the urge to poop. Then, visit the toilet and no poop at all. Sometimes the urge comes every 10 minutes.
For a while I thought it was constipation. And I was constipated for 7 days. It seemed a bowel obstruction was going on. Compacted stool blocking passage out. I did get a procedure for that. Afterwards, felt relief but that didn't last more than an hour.
I never expected to find this discussion here but it popped out when I finally got to HU late today.
Thank you so much for posting this. Really really disturbing to find there is no cure. I am using soluble fiber and glad that it can help. And I just started a bout of probiotics yesterday
Will try the Aflorex chewable. Thank you all so much.
Thank you for your post ForViolet. When I first visited my GP regarding my problem, my GP first thought it was constipation or possibly a bowel obstruction/compacted stool. I was prescribed Laxido.
Directions for laxido is to take 8 sachets a day for bowel obstruction. It was horrendous. Watery liquid poo for days afterwards and very sore. Did nothing to help with my pain on left hand side and just made me go to the toilet more and more. I have now been prescribed isphagia husk/fybogel to bulk up my bowel movements. Does anyone find fybogel/isphagia husk beneficial. I have been using for a short while now and can’t say its bulking up my bowel movements.
ForViolet - Good luck with the Aflorex chewable and probiotics. Please post on here if you find them beneficial.
Thank you for writing back. I've found soluble fiber, psyllium husk powder, in my pantry and also some prebiotic's and probiotics there.
I can't eat any food. Just juices, broth and coffee milk because I don't want to go through that awful leaking again. After the pull it out therapy, thank you ER doc, I was put on the "Golitely" which I could take half of before nausea ensued. The next entire day and night and half next day was the oozing. Still doing laundry from that.
Today I put in a call requesting an appointment with a gastroenterologist. The Urgent Care had made a referral. I guess that helps but we'll see.
I did try to get the Aflorex but it was hugely expensive, so oped for what I have.
I don't know if I want to bulk up since there seems to be a blockage near the rectum. So, anything bulked will need to be thin to get through that, around it. I think....
