Does anyone else notice an increase in IBS symptoms when you are close to or on your menstrual ? Cause I sure do. My goodness. Nothing helps and I cannot sleep.

I can't answer that. My IBS cropped up a few years after a total hysterectomy. I can't prove it but I think HRT messed me up.

That's what's been happening to me as well. It's very painful. Ugh....

I did on the first day of my cycle for years. It was so bad I would take lots of Toynel

and heating pad to bed and suffer all day.
