In the past I typically would have C for a bit and then have an attack of D that would last a few horrible hours with pain, chills, and occasionally nausea.

Hi Shannon, I know exactly what you are going through. Right now I am in the constipation mode...who knows when it will change to diarrhea, and that scares me because it will last for a couple of hours and what happens if I am not at home. When I go anywhere, the first thing I look for is a bathroom. If I try something new, it will work for awhile then it doesn't work anymore...makes me crazy. Stress and anxiety will bring on flare ups of IBS.

The first thing I look for is a bathroom whereever I go. I hate having my life revolve around a potty, or before I have an appt I make sure I am cleaned out, although that is even becoming harder to do. Very frustrating!!!

I find that stress makes all symptoms worse. I have C most of the time but had D last week for the first time in a while. Confusing condition.

Oh I know Sandy. Never know when I’ll need to run for the bathroom so always good to know where they’re at.
