firsty may i say....my dr is asian and i feel i cant speak to them. i once went with my little boy and say a nursery nurse thinks blah blah is wrong with him and they pretty much ate my head by saying they are the dr not my friend.
when i searched ibs symptoms it screamed everything that i am suffering atm but only been like this for a week, so may be something different.
abdominal pain and cramping - when i need the loo. and i have to go there and then, as a matter of ergency.
a change in your bowel habits – i normally go once/twice a week and its hard (sorry tmi), i'm now going every other day and its soft
bloating and swelling of your abdomen - i've noticed bloating alot lately
excessive wind (flatulence) - windy both ends and smells alot
an urgent need to go to the toilet - tonight i had the erge and had to run.
a feeling that you need to open your bowels even if you have just been to the toilet - everytime i go the loo i feel i need to go again.
a feeling you have not fully emptied your bowels - i felt relieved until i had cleaned and was ready to get off the loo
also twice i have experenced ALOT of pain in my lower ribs all away around to my back. once i have a blanket on me and stayed as still as possiable the pain begins to decrease. first time it happened i was breastfeeding in just my bra as it came on. second time i was in a warm room, with my pjs on caring for my three children.
could this be related? help. does any of this sound like ibs?
