I had a huge IBS flare up 9 days ago, (I was diagnosed with IBS after a colonoscopy 2.5 years ago, I am 40 now)
In the afternoon my tummy started getting gassy, that evening I went out as planned for a steak supper with my wife and while waiting for the food my tummy got crampy, however the food settled it and I had a lovely evening.
All hell broke loose at 3am with extreme constipation pain followed by D.
I went to the docs that morning and was told it was IBS (no surprise)
Since then it has calmed a bit but in the morning I get cramps and kind of normal movement but within the next two hours I get constant trips to the small room with looser and looser movements. All shapes under the sun also! my tummy stays fragile until evening when it calms down.
My question is - Does anyone else get this morning cycle and has anyone got any advise on how to get my crampy tummy to calm back down?
I am taking acacia and also pep tablets and living on pep tea, trying to eat light also.
Also does anyone else have the need to pee a lot during a flare up?
