IBS at work only       05/03/06 11:38 AM Edit Reply Quote anorak Reged: 05/03/06 Posts: 1 This may sound crazy, and my doctor dimisses it, but... I only suffer from IBS like symptoms on work days! I'm a 50 year old male with a sedentary job working as an I.T. consultant. Every work day the same pattern: wake up feeling OK, by late morning my bowels are starting to churn with excessive gas, after lunch is the worst with extreme bloating and sometimes diarrhoea, symptoms then get less severe late afternoon / early evening. BUT THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AT WEEKENDS. Can IBS like symptoms be brought on purely through posture? i.e. long periods of sitting. At the weekend my kids don't give me time to sit around and I'm generally very active anyway. I'm not overweight and have found that swimming (about a mile) is great at relieving the symptoms, albeit temporarily. Any comments? Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
