a week ago I had a really bad attack , really bad diaoreah and then having to goto the loo several times for a couple of days , my stomach then felt bloated and tender , a week on it is only just starting to feel better , anyone else like this?
I guess I'm fairly lucky if I get a flair up and we are talking bad dihorrea it'll last a couple of hours then gradually get back to normal over the next day or so
I had IBS D two weeks ago for three days. Nurofen with codeine helped to slow it down a bit but didn't stop it. I had to take Imodium for a day to stop it completely. I had lack of appetite, on off nausea and stomach cramping for a week and my stomach was very tender. I was also on Buscopan for several days to help with the pain.
I usually have IBS C, but I had a period of stress and bowel overflow after not going to the loo for a week.
Hi pater: The last really bad flare was earlier this year and lasted at least 3 weeks. All the symptoms on and off daily -- d and then 3 days latter c & d until I thot I was losing my mind. I could not be far away from a bathroom. It's not uncommon for me to go these type flares because I have stress induced IBS-a. Now that I'm taking the Imodium that I think pippa recommended (I had the wrong kind), the d seems to be under control and but sure yet about c. I think we have all suffered thru what you are experiencing now. Hope you get it under control soon. Best....
Yes had this a lot......Actually had an IBS attack for almost 12 months....yuk
