Need some advice- IBS with temperature.

Digestive health

Hello, its been a while since I was back here. I hope everyone else is doing better.

I got some tests back that nearly completely rule out anything other than IBS. I had the colonoscopy and it was clear. The only one i haven't got back yet is the small bowl xray and I think that will be ok. The hospital didn't chase me up on it so they mustn't be concerned. I Had many months afterward were my symptoms were managed well.

However yesterday I woke up with chills, a temperature and the worse bout of IBS (pain, foul diarrhea) I've ever had. What could this be? A stomach infection that's aggravating my IBS or something else? If so is there anything i could do? Is it a cause for concern or should I just wait it out?

Thank you

Bob

That could be something as simple as the flu or a stomach virus. If your tests come back clean, I doubt there is reason to worry.

You can take paracetamol to reduce your tenperature. It sounds like a stomach bug so for now I suggest you wait it out. Unfortunately having IBS doesn't stop getting normal diarrhoea etc. Xxxxxxx

Could be a stomach bug making your IBS worse.  Wait it out.  If no better after a week, see your doctor.
