Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Well this is a first...usually it is either gas or bloating when my gut starts this cramping. Instead it is making this grumbling sound- you would think I have small animals or something growling inside or me. My fiance thinks I am hungry...which I am not since I munched on some dry rice/corn cereal (about 1/2 cup) and some french bread (1 slice) and had an actual glass of citrucel rather than the capsules along with some tea.

So I am now with a grumbly gut and I keep having to go to the bathroom to pee every half hour. I didn't think I drank any more water than I normally do today. I am really confused. I just about get to sleep and then it feels like all heck is breaking loose with the noise and then needing to go visit my bathroom.

I am thinking that my heating pad might help, but not sure. Any suggestions? I wish it was stress...but things have been going great for the past two weeks other than the bad day today-running out of toner and needing to copy 500 brochures and 200 applications and have them ready for tomorrow, ordering the wrong thing out of the catalog and having to deal with the returning of it and reordering only to find out its back ordered for two weeks. Haven't eaten anything different. So I am at a loss.

I am only blaming the hamburger since nothing happened until I took the lid off of it and then about 5 minutes later, wham. I am so glad I gave up red meat and dairy if this is going to happen just from the smell. I would hate to see what happens if I was to be bad and sneak any.

I hate this since I am tired and need sleep since I am just so excited about the students coming back tomorrow. Oh well...here hoping it passes soon.
