Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Any suggestions....i am new here!

I saw this web site and I am curious about whether I have IBS or not. I am a young mommy of three and my symptoms came after I had children. My GP says its IBS without any testing done but my symptoms arent the regular IBS symptoms. So I guess I am writing to see if anyone had ever heard of these symptoms connected with IBS. I have a regular normal BM in the morning with no strain. Then throughout the day I will go to the bathroom many times with only a very small amount of stool. Sometimes I am contipated (if on prenatal pills) and sometimes it is small but comes out fine. I have researched it and cant find this symptom anywhere. When this happens I have a continuous dull ache under my ribs that comes and goes. Untill I saw this web site I have been trying to fill my body with so much fiber I am going crazy and getting worse. Now I am confused about what to eat. Running to the bathroom every hour with a very small stool. It is totally irratating. Has anyone ever heard of this? No D and no blood. I will go buy the book if it helps. Any suggestions? I have a specialist appointment with a Gastro in Feb for Acid reflux. Thanks for your help! Stacy P.S I meant to say that sometimes my bowels with start working about the time I am to go to sleep and I will go and then my body cant rest because I have to go again and again. Its like an attack I feel like. I dont know what to do. I have been up to 5 in the morning going to the bathroom. It happened after my 2 child right when I came home from the hospital and the 3 one as well. I am so confused...
