Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Today I was able to buy Heathers book on the first year and I am so excited to read this book. I have a question about my IBS. I am wondering as I am reading the book and having read others experiences if anyone has the pain I have. You see I don't have triggers that come during eating or even right after. I can have that if I were to eat hashbrowns after eating out or I remember eating a very greasy steak and I could not finish the meal and spent a lot of time in the bathroom but even then the pain was nothing ilke it is now. You see I can go all day long maybe having a small belly ache and then I will go to bed and wake up in the morning and BOOM there it is. The only way I can explain the pain is to be graphic. It's like I get this horrible pain almost like a contraction and that contraction is what pushes the stool out of me and I let out a bunch of stool and then the pain goes away and then the contraction will come back again and there is more stool, this will go on some times for over an hour and Oh the pain is horrible. Towards the end It's more so loose stool and the pain is gone. I am wondering if any of you have gone through this???
I usually have discomfort daily but since I stopped eating the insoluble fibers it seems to have helped plus I am taking fibercon now 3 times a day. It's just I tried to tell my doctor the pain is only like that when I use the bathroom and it's not often I thought I may be constipated and that could be why it happens, I fill myself up and then there's the contractions. I hope I made sense because I need to know if I am not feeling a normal affect of IBS. I had that flexible sig test and the specialist agreed I had IBS.
Thanks for listening
Jenn
