I'm pretty sure I have IBS, too, although I've never been officially diagnosed. Never had horrible cramps or bleeding, though, just slight cramps and bowels that are definitely affected by my nerves. My BMs are never consistent, either, and I alternate between harder and looser stools sometimes (although my stools tend to be on the much looser side, probably due to the acid reflux medication I take, which is Prilosec and tends to cause that in people). I worry if this will impact my healing after LIS, but my CRS didn't seem too concerned about looser stools. I worry about when I might get constipated, which is random and sometimes related to my period. I can't predict how things will be and with me being so upset and nervous all the time related to all this, it's even more difficult. : ( So I can relate to the IBS issues.
Did you ever get a colonoscopy, xxstaciexx?
Still thinking of you and also keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. This will all be over soon and you can move on with your life and concentrate on healing. : )
January 2013 - Diagnosed with fissure. Eventually turned chronic.
History of IBS and anxiety disorder, along with fear of using bathrooms other than my own caused it.
Tried Diltiazem, but eventually developed a rash.
