I can relate. Doesn’t matter what I eat. And doesn’t happen right away. Happens the next day!

Feeling Of Having To Move Bowels
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

Most times, after moving my bowels I have the constant feeling of still having to go. I do go a lot but it takes many bowel movements until the feeling goes away. It is miserable. I am happiest on days when I don’t go at all!
Can anyone else identify with this and is there anything that helps. Thanks.
