Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) Frequent urination       #370196 - 09/17/13 09:12 AM Edit Reply Quote Candy07 Reged: 08/13/13 Posts: 329 Hello All, Yesterday was a VERY frustrating day for me! I had to drive 40 miles each way to a speech therapy appointment and I had to pee EVERY damned hour!! I had to stop at gas stations and again at a JC Penney store while shopping!! I am still peeing very frequently today. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Is it related to my IBS? Thanks Much! -------------------- Originally diagnosed with IBS-C in Spring, 2008. During spring to fall of 2008, had at least 10 acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs. IBS went into remission. IBS returned in late July 2013 after taking 2 oral contrasts for a CT scan for cancer follow up. Had more acupuncture with different practitioner in summer 2014, but received little benefit.

I feel I may have a lot of backed up stool in my lower intestine that is causing my bladder to feel "crowded", thus causing the frequent urinating?? I will ask my gastro doc this tomorrow!! -------------------- Originally diagnosed with IBS-C in Spring, 2008. During spring to fall of 2008, had at least 10 acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs.

What has happened to me is on the last two days I have had a bowel movement (I am going every other day now), I always have to pee very frequently and sometimes have urges where I feel I will have another BM, but I don't. Do you think this is the result of constipation, and the backed up stools are just pressing on my bladder? I am IBS-C, and am up to about 6 teaspoons of Acacia fiber now per day. I take prescription Prilosec for acid reflux and I think that is giving me a LOT of gas. Any thoughts or suggestions for coping would be VERY MUCH appreciated!! Thanks SO much in advance!!! -------------------- Originally diagnosed with IBS-C in Spring, 2008. During spring to fall of 2008, had at least 10 acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs.

This sounds like a good question for your GP. Good work with the Acacia - sounds like it is working for you. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Frequent urination       #370570 - 11/02/13 04:31 PM Edit Reply Quote Candy07 Reged: 08/13/13 Posts: 329 I have had tests for UTIs twice in recent months and my GP really doesn't know what to do about this issue, unfortunately! I think it is related to the IBS and constipation. One of my husband's friends has a wife with IBS and SHE suffers from very frequent peeing too!! I have Googled this problem, trying to solve it on my own, but so far, NO luck! Thanks for your feedback! -------------------- Originally diagnosed with IBS-C in Spring, 2008.

It has more water in It?

But I did go through this many years ago, way before I had IBS. Went to a urologist and had tests....found nothing. It eventually went away. Was in a habit and mindset of running to the bathroom all the time. Had to retrain my bladder.
