Can constipation and bloating cause needing to pee all the time....like every hour....even in the middle of the night?
I don't think I have a urinary tract infection because when I've had those in the past I've had burning and pain and such with peeing all the time. My urine is clear and no pain or burning. I've been drinking the same amount of water as always.

I'm not sure how to answer your question. I go pee all the time and my friends tease me about having a peeing problem. 
I drink alot of water during the day to keep me from getting C. I get up at least once a night to pee.

I'm not sure, but i've noticed it too... Even though I won't have a bowel movement, i'll still pee. Get's sort of annoying sometimes doesn't it.

I usually get up once or twice in the night, but last night I got up like 4 or five times! My husband even commented on it.

Hi. I know EXACTLY what you're talking about! I'm a frequent vistor to the bathroom even when the IBS isn't acting up, but when I'm particularly bloaty and ouchy, I have to pee hourly (which is ridiculous!!!!!). I thought it was just me, 'cause I hadn't heard anyone else say anything like that, nor have I read it anywhere. I suppose we're so bloaty that the bladder doesn't have too much room to fill up? Lucky us! 
Good to know I have company, I guess....

thanks for the support. I used to be more of an IBS-D, but have now become more of an IBS-C and was just wondering about that. Glad to know it's nothing serious.

Could it be all the tea we drink?

Somewhere I read this is a normal symptom of IBS. I often wonder how and why the intestines affect the urinary tract that way, but they do.
I don't worry about it. There are other more pressing things in life. In fact the only time it causes me distress is when I forget to go on a regular basis.....oh my, then watch me run!!!!

I've noticed that I pee a lot when I'm C too! My theory is that our bodies are retaining water in order to soften up the hard stool.

Definitely get this! Even though I'm IBS-d. I heard it was just one of the weird IBS things. If my IBS is bad, I go at leaat once an hour. Drives me nuts!

I don't think it's an IBS thing. I never pee during the day -- never have either. But at night ALL NIGHT LONG every two hours, like clockwork! I actually set my probiotic-taking time by it. I get up at midnight, take a pee, then take the priobiotic. Then get up again at 2, then again at 4, and so on. It stops when I eat something.
And that's what I think is the trigger for me -- what I'm eating. I notice I will go during the day (very surprisingly!) IF I have something different for breakfast than I usually have -- cereal instead of eggs, waffles instead of toast -- it doesn't matter, it's the CHANGE. I won't go all day until I go to bed. Drives me CRAZY!  Sometimes it keeps me awake because once I get up my mind begins to work and I can't get back to sleep!
I wonder if water-retaining salt fluctuations in my diet is to blame, such that when I stop eating (like going to bed), I stop taking in salt, thus allowing my body to let go of the water? Just a thought.

I'm glad it has gotten better (fewer peeing trips) because tomorrow is "ice fishing day"!
I forced myself not to drink much after dinner last night and I only got up once in the night. Didn't sleep very well, though.
Thanks for all your support and insight. Glad to know I'm not the only one. And glad to know that it's just one of those IBS thingys.....

I have also been peeing alot...I was blaming it on all the water I was drinking, however there may be something to it 
Have fun fishing....I may also go ice fishing tomorrow (if I get lots of school work done!)

Good luck with your fishing as well! Are you going ice fishing? How is the fishing up there in Canada where you are? I've been to the Yukon (Whitehorse when I was very young) and Victoria, BC (in 1995). Beautiful! We went to Butchart (sp?) Gardens.

I thought you said you were going fishing so I asked if you were going ice fishing.

The fishing is awsome here, if you know where to go....right now we catch mostly speckled trout and smelt (small fish but yummy, you can catch over 100 smelt in a couple hours)...but the best fishing is in the summer, so fun (but one drawback is the flies!)

This isn't where I first saw it, but here is another site that mentions it as a symptom:

I think that I know what MAY be an answer here! My 9 year old (and myself too) are ALWAYS having to go pee. I didn't think too much about it for me but finally decided to take her to the doctor. She has had problems with constipation since she was born!!! Anyway, the doc took x-rays of her tummy and you could see the buildup in her poor tummy of poo and she was so constipated that the doctor said that this was also causing the frequent urge to urinate-it's the pressure that the constipation puts on the bladder!! Isn't it terrible that we have to have so many symptoms all at once! At least I know what my problem is too now! I hate that my poor baby has to go through this too and I'm trying to learn all I can so she doesn't have to suffer the rest of her life!

Bevrs....what kind of salt do you use? I use
only sea salt and it has decreased my water
retention significantly. There is only one kind
that I find that tastes good and also works well.
I get it in my grocery store but health food stores
have it as well. It comes in a 26oz blue container
and it's called, "Sel De Mer Fin" by La Baleine. I
use the fine crystals (it's just like salt). I've
reccomended this to other people who were having
water retention and they have all stopped using the
regular table salt and love this salt. It really
works good for water retention. I haven't used
anything else for years. When I eat something someone
else has cooked I usually blow up like a baloon from
the salt. Hope this info is helpful to someone!

Hi Val,
I don't use salt. Bad for the blood pressure! In recipes, I always cut it down to a quarter of what the recipe calls for -- or leave it out altogether if I can.
I seldom eat any prepared foods, canned foods, etc., because the salt content is incredible. Not good, not good. Hubby too is real concerned about salt; he's almost 70, and it's imperative that we both keep our blood pressure down.
Thanks for your post.
Bev

You can check it out with your doctor but I'm
pretty sure you can use this salt even with your
problems. I know Sam (my guy) has started using it
because of his blood pressure. Ask your doctor
about it. I agree with prepared foods they are
loaded with bad salt.
