So I have had IBS for many many years. Now I am experiencing a lump in my throat when I have an episode. When I say episode I mean the cramping and hours pass untill I can pass stool. So the cramping last for hours and then I get this new symptoms which is a lump in my throat and I have to keep spitting in a cup to relieve the feeling or I will throw up. Does anyone experience this lump? I just called the dr to see if there is any medication I can take to make the episodes from comming on so often. I use to have them a few times a year now I get them once a week!!
This sounds mad but I used to sip hot water....Not too hot obviously about the same heat a cup of tea....it helped me a lot....Luckily my brain has stopped giving me this awful symptom.
It actually be an anxiety symptom.
Ya it is not anxiety because it only happens when I am having an episode of the cramping and diarhea. Once I go the bathroom the feeling goes away.
Ugh I get it to so much that it hurts to swallow its almost like terrible heartburn but the lump is so much more difficult I just down some warm soda it helps even a burp is heaven
