IBS (Irratable Bowl) caused by laxative abuse?       05/15/06 11:46 AM Edit Reply Quote emmab1983 Reged: 05/15/06 Posts: 2 I get painful cramping, bloat and feel flushed and faint with pain when I get these cramps. I get hard stools that cause me to bleed followed by diaherreah. I'm having gas pains now which feel like gas filling my lower tummy (near my hipbones) and up to my ribs towards my back so if i squeezed my sides thats where i feel the gas... all along there. I stopped taking laxatives over a year ago when I had a severe eating disorder and came out of hospital and was taking them everyday for about 5months and am now concerned that it is possibly IBS, could it have been caused or aggravated by the laxatives?? I feel as though I can't take anything for the constipation because I'm scared of going back to my old ways but my psychiatrist suggested something that could softn my stools, but surely after a while (like with laxatives) You'd have to take stronger doeses if your body becomes tolerent *sigh* eh Edited by emmab1983 (05/15/06 12:28 PM) Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
