I have an experience that I don't understand...this is the second time it's happened. I told my doctor the first time-he is a good doctor who also has IBS but didn't really comment on it.
This is an EXTREME pressure on my bottom when going to the bathroom that feels like it's going to be constipation and HURTS SO BAD that you think you're going to pass out and sit there and literally cry from the pain, but when you finally go, there is an HUGE amount of very soft stool. It made NO SENSE why it should have hurt so much?!
Is the fact that the stool is so soft that my body has trouble passing it? I take approx. 1 scoop of Citrucel and about 6-9 Citrucel tablets a day. I also take a stool softener. I go back and forth between C and D.
I had a colonoscopy Monday and all was clear! He did say that there may be some inflammation in the small intestine that could be causing some of the problems and I will hear back from that in about a week.
Any info that this is "normal" (if ANYTHING could be considered "normal" with IBS) would be good news. I'm scared and mad with all the changes this has made in my life over the past 10 months!
