Does Anybody With IBS Just Have Only Gurgling Sounds And No Diarrea Or Constipation?
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

My digestion is working just fine--no issues. I have this crazy gurgling/rumbling sounds from my intestines. They are very loud and occur mostly at night when lying on my back. Lying on my side helps. Is this IBS even though I have no BM issues such as diarrhea or constipation? Any remedies for these sounds? Thank you.

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.

Mine too. Constipation for almost 2 weeks, and then diarrhea for a week. I suffer from migraine as well. I am afraid I'm going to get fired. 😒

I Recently Started Colestipol. I Feel Like I Am Having The Opposite Problem. Instead Of Upset Stomachs 3/4 Times A Day, I Can’t Go At All.
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

Dx IBS-D but have had weeks that I am constipated and then diarrhea for days. I can have weeks of normal GI going-ons as well. So wondering if this dx is correct or if something else could be going on. I was treated for diverticulitis (suspected) in February. Things were GREAT while I was on those meds.

Yep that's IBS for ya! It's very hard to control and unpredictable. I've had it for many years. I just deal with it on a day to day basis. When I go out I don't eat. I mostly eat plain soft food...no… read more

SIBO - Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone else been diagnosed with SIBO? I've rarely seen it mention when researching IBS, but the new doctor I went to yesterday suggested a modified fodmap diet that eliminates additional foods to address it. You can get tested for SIBO but I decided to just start treatment right away without confirmation of the test, because I am so desperate to feel better.

A myIBSteam Member

I think I heard somewhere that you should not use probiotics when you have SIBO but I am not 100% sure.A pharmacist would be able to give you the correct answer ! ❤️
