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.

I Have IBS-D Does Anyone Take Immodium Sometimes To Help During A Special Occasion ?
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

I can’t win. I have two days where I have to drive further away than usual to visit family for Christmas and I am considering taking immodium
(Anti diarrhea medication) just to get me through… read more

Hi, I Am So Fed Up Of Having To Rush To Toilet With Diarrhoea, & Not Always Getting There In Time.
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

I’ve been like this for many years but it’s getting much worse as I’ve got older, I’m now 68 yrs. & have had many accidents during this time. I’m at my wits end as this is controlling my life. I am otherwise fit & healthy
Doctor has prescribed suppositories which I use for every bowel movement, if I didn’t use these I would get all of the symptoms of wanting to go, but unable to go, until I had to rush to the toilet with chroni diarrhoea, & would be lucky if I made it in time. Don’t know what… read more
