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!
